Okay , wasn't exactly sure where to post this .

My BIL is separated from his daughters mother , she left when she was an infant . She is now three , they're in custody battle over her . He currently only has her on weekends .

This weekend was my husband and I's wedding and she was our flowergirl . Being that the first of the month was Canada day she had a Canada flag temporary tattoo on her forearm . BIL tried to get it off but is wasn't coming off . He left her with his mother for a half hour while he showered and was getting ready . She came back into his suite (they live in the same house, he has a rental suite) crying and her arm was red and raw . MIL had scrubbed it raw trying to get the tattoo off . Her arm was literally burnt from being scrubbed so hard . It was awful and looks much worse today . She would have had to hold her still and scrub her while crying in pain , it's disgusting . His ex picked her up today and is obviously livid as are we . BIL is a great father and really wants to be a part of his daughters life and we are afraid his mothers actions will have ruined his ability to be able to see his daughter as I know his ex will be using this against him in court .

I guess what I'm trying to ask is how can BIL defend himself in this all . He was totally unaware of what was happening and that she would be even attempting to remove the tattoo . He has documented it all , if it hadn't been our wedding day he would have taken her to the clinic just because . He will be moving out of the rental suite within the next month .

I'm so upset about it all . I can't believe she did that and takes no responsibility for it , she doesn't seem to think she did anything wrong . I will NEVER be leaving my daughter alone with her ever especially after this incident .
 
I doubt a court would reduce access based upon the removal of a temporary tattoo by a grandmother.

LO can't be wrapped in cotton wool. Mistakes happen unfortunately.

It's the attitude of MIL that I can't get my head around. If she truly thinks that she has done nothing wrong then I wouldn't leave your child with her either. Why can't she admit she made a mistake and apologise?
 
I cant believe she did that, what a horrible way to treat a child.
Did anyone see her do it?
I don't think that can be used against him, he obviously trusted his mum and didnt expect her to do that.
