    Is it correct that you are the paternal grandmother? Where is 'r''s father in this?

    If no one is looking for her, its not kidnapping. If you allow her to stay with you, contact the police to notify them she is there and explain the situation.

    You should also go to court and apply for guardianship. Her mother and possibly maternal grandmother might be guilty of abandonment, depending on the situation.

    I cannot recommend a lawyer in Orlando. I know a good one in Brevard, but that's a bit too far away. Look in the yellowpages for just about any lawyer who handles custody and family law cases.

    But for now, just get her somewhere safe.
