Best Answer

To get legal rights to a child, you must go through the court system. The child's parents must agree or you must go through child protective services to get custody.

If a grandmother takes care of her grandson since birth and the mother of the child takes him without consulting with the grandmother does the grandmother have legal rights to the child?

A child is not property and continued "possession" does not have meaning with regard to rights. Regardless of how long the grandmother has been taking care of the grandson, she has legal rights to the child only if the mother, or the courts, formally granted her custodial rights. If the grant of custodial rights was never made, then the grandmother has no legal right to interfere with the mother resuming custodial care of the child. (Presuming the mother has not lost custodial rights to some other person or institution.)
