Hi there. A few months ago, my husband and I were fostering a child. During this time, the child's grandmother (we don't have proof for this unfortunately) wrote an email to child services claiming that we molest him. He was taken away for his own safety. Months later, she is still going around making false claims about us. Her latest was that we are psychopaths and that we have hacked her son's gaming device. This I do have proof of that she did say. It's a small town, and being a gay couple is hard enough. Is there anything I can legally do to get her to stop spreading lies about us. (Her reasons for doing this. She wanted custody of the child and the social department said no. After the incident with the molestation accusation, the social department refused to communicate with us and he was placed in her custody because the social department admitted that by placing him in our custody without doing it legally, they were in trouble and they didn't want anymore trouble and therefore by default placed the child in her custody.  Which we suspect, but cannot prove was her endgame) we just want to move forward with our lives now. But these continued remarks in a small town negatively affect our every day lives. People unfortunately base their opinions of others on what they hear. Please, could you give me some advice. Thank you so much.
