Stop in for a cup of coffee

Interesting day yesterday. A little history first...My granddaughters Dad is a person who is out of her life more than in. He lives here locally with his wife. Last November, he checked into the VA mental health side for a couple months. Since his release he has had no contact (or child support for almost a year) with the daughter or granddaughter.
My granddaughter has basically given up on her dad at this point and told her Mom she doesn't want to see him.
The school is well aware of what's going on. My granddaughter has taken a liking to the school counselor and expressed her frustrations with her.
Yesterday, the guy's wife showed up at the granddaughter's grade school. She said she was there to pick Rylin up for an appointment. When questioned by the principle she then said Rylin's dad was going away for a while and they were having a surprise get together for him. Only because she wasn't on the pick-up list and the hooky story, they told her Rylin wasn't in school. She in fact was sitting in tears in the counselor's office saying she wasn't going to go.
School called the daughter and then she called me. I told her to go pick her up from school and to check that rear view mirror. I don't know if they were trying to snatch her (he's from Florida) or what the heck was going on. I told her to call her lawyer and get a temporary full custody ordered filed. Right now, if her Dad came in and asked for her legally the school is obligated to release her to him.
After all this yesterday still no contact from him. We read about this crap happening all the time. If it wasn't for an on the ball principle, they'd have taken Rylin and a six-hour head start before we knew she was gone.
Cheryl said Well at least he doesn't know where to live now. I told her no, just assume he does. My daughter and I both live at the end of dead-end streets (gee how'd that happen) so it's easy to check the 360. We'll just have to be "on the job" until this incident, one of many past experiences with this A-hole gets sorted out.
