DCFS is involved with my granddaughter after my first granddaughter’s death.

I need advice as to how can I get involved with protecting my 2nd granddaughter and my 3rd granddaughter due in August. My son and his girl are not responsible with raising my granddaughters after my first granddaughter was neglected and she passes 12/31/2014 at 6 months old. They are into drugs and have a volatile relationship. I know that she has blamed my son but I have pictures of her smoking marijuana and a video where my son arguing with her on she using heroin while being pregnant with my second granddaughter. I know if my granddaughter goes back with them I’m afraid for her safety. Please I don’t want to bury another granddaughter. My second granddaughter has been living with my in-laws (her great grandparents who are over 60 years old). I live in Roscoe, IL but case is in Cook County. Thank you

Hire an attorney and try to get assigned custody of the child, even as a possible foster parent.
