Are grandparents perceived to be a risk to their grandchildren?

I was asked recently if I thought that the Church could in some way be highlighting the plight of grandchildren being denied contact.
As you know I write to everyone I can think of and some time ago I wrote to various members of the clergy this is one response I received I will leave it up to you to comment.

I think you may have a fighting chance of getting a support group off the
ground, though I doubt in the current climate that a change in Family Law
is tenable because of the governments proper pre-occupation with
protecting children from harmful adults.  Sadly, as you will know, there
is a fairly well established body of evidence which shows that most child
abuse takes place within families and in the past this has involved
grandparents (usually grandfathers).
