Grandparents as Parents
Season 2004 Episode 1 | 56m 46s
Some 18,000 Idaho grandparents are serving as primary caregivers for a grandchild.
Nationwide, more than two million grandparents are raising their grandchildren. The 18,000 figure in Idaho represents an 80 percent growth since 1990. A law signed by Governor Dirk Kempthorne acknowledged this growth in grandparent-grandchild families by giving grandparents more legal rights over the care of their grandchildren.
