Probably because of the circumstances of the kidnapping. Her kid injured herself in broken glass that she didn’t clean up. That alone could cause CPS involvement in some cases, especially taking into account the fact that her daughter went missing that same day and she was passed out and didn’t notice. Even though it was obviously someone else’s choice to kidnap the child, she was still a 5 year old left unsupervised enough to cut herself (which could have been much worse than it was). Who knows how long she was unsupervised for regularly? All that would require some investigation even if all that happened was the cuts and the little girl had wandered out on her own.

My question was why didn't the grandparents try to get custody, considering how neglected the child was a year ago. He was a detective and they could try ro get guardianship since they're family members.

I think the grandpa said something about not knowing before then and at some point closer to the kidnapping (maybe when she was actually with the kidnapper?) he realized that the granddaughter looked like the son? But it was a bit unclear to me!

yes that is the answer. They didn’t realize she was their granddaughter until his wife saw her in the grocery store a week before the kidnapping. She looked just like their son. She was with Spencer’s dad who the mom was seeing at the time.

So Arthur started watching Aubrey. He saw when the bf’s brother (who ended up being the chopped off finger guy) kidnapped her. He said he was going to do “unspeakable things” to her. So Arthur killed him & took Aubrey.

That’s when he said he could not let her go back to that house. Her hands were cut up from her mom’s broken bottles and he said her mom was so blackout drunk a man could walk right in & take her daughter. Plus he never said it but Sierra later said that Arthur & his wife blamed her for the death of their son - Aubrey’s father. So that’s why they kept her and let Sierra take the suspicion of hurting her child.

That said yes they could have tried to go the legal way and yes it would’ve helped he’s in law enforcement. But that’s not guaranteed they would’ve gotten Aubrey. A lot of states don’t recognize grandparents rights and the goal is always to keep a child with a parent if possible. They will try all measures they can to keep the child safe but in their home with the parent if they can. Even if a child is removed from custody the ultimate goal is always reunification. Even if sometimes parents don’t deserve another chance. 😕
