VerifiedHelloCustomer
I admire your tenacity as potential grand mother to search for the truth. Your rights as a potential grand mother unfortunately is never going to be as strong as the Father in this instance and you are both coming from a situation where very little to no evidence exists that the girl in question is carrying your sons child or is pregnant at all
The deletion of all the family contacts on facebook could have been the sign that there was a discrepancy in the truth and the girl did not want to be embarrassed any longer by her deception, you can only carry a pregnancy for so long
Your son may know other friends of this girl on facebook, somehow - perhaps not now - but when contact is broken off for a few months and she feels she is not being watched or chased she will reveal the truth in her face book activities and postings, if a baby does exist, than it is your son who has the greater right to ask the question as long as she is still willing to undertake a DNA test as originally agreed, which you can not force her to do if she is asking no financial support of the father
Although it's probably not the answer you want to hear I am sure above everything else you desire is the truth, and I trust this information will give you some direction on an approach to the truth and that you will kindly accept my answer as I wish you the best in this matter
Regards
