Story here. Disturbing because the baby is presumed dead and father and grandmother offered to take the child--but Social Services say mom has all the rights. Excerpt:

'The father of a 7-month-old Commerce City boy missing and presumed dead said he offered to take the child when the baby's mother expressed dissatisfaction with her baby.

Sharrieckia Trinette Page, 22, is being held in the medical unit of the Adams County Jail in lieu of a $100,000 bond on suspicion of child abuse resulting in death. She appeared in Adams County court for an initial advisement via a video link, said Krista Flanagan, an Adams County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman.

Torrey Brown Sr., the father of the child, said he visited Page's home on Wednesday, the day before the baby was last seen.
...
Brown said he offered to take the child but was denied."
...
"'She has more rights, she is the mother,' " Brown recalled of her conversation with a child welfare agent. "That is what I was told."'
