Does a 17 year old have any say over who should have custody of him?

You would need a court order emancipating you, usually this would involve proving in court that your parents are unfit parents and that you are mature enough and capable of supporting yourself financially.

Can you obtain temporary custody of your 4-year-old niece from your sister your niece's father is in jail and your sister is neglecting your niece and has no home no job she is dangering her well bein?
Probably, it depends on the state. The best chance would be to convince the father that the child is being neglected - if he signed a waiver agreeing to custody to you then it would aid in the situation to convince a judge that the mother is unfit and that custody should be turned over to you. Legal Aid in your area should be able to help with this as well or any type of legal volunteer agency.

You haven't provided any details about marital status and existing parental rights.If he doesn't presently have parental rights and custody- the answer is no. If the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody until the father has established his paternity legally and petitioned the court for custody and won.

My 16 year old daughter and her 2 month old son live with me Since I have custody of her don't I have some rights over him She keeps threatening to leave?
Depends on the child laws where you live. In Canada, at age 14 - a child can live where ever they like. However, if there is an infant or young child involved and the mother is leaving to a place that may not be safe or conducive to a minor- you should call the Child Service protection agency. Just because you have "custody" of a 16 year old does not mean you have custody of her child unless it is court ordered. In Canada, a 16 year old does not fall under the child protection act any longer.
