You need a power of guardianship to be certain you have rights to make decisions concerning the child's welfare. This can be a hand-written power of guardianship that the parents give to you. Google to find example of power of guardianship papers.
Yes. I am a family member that has full legal custody of a my grandychildren because both parents were found unfit by a Juvenile Court and Children Services agreed because of "best interest of the child" The parents were given 22 month to work a court order caseplan, but failed to comply so I was given custody of the children. The parents have visits on the 2nd and 4th Saturdays of the month and no overnights. The parents were also ordered to pay monthly child support.
You need an attorney in Florida who specializes in family law.
I think the grandparents have more of a right then any other family member. I've heard about grandparents taking in their grandchildren if the parents do not want the children.

You haven't provided his age or the details of the "other family". He can make that decision when he reaches eighteen years of age. If he is still a minor the parents in the other family would need to establish legal custody in the court where you obtained custody. You would need to relinquish custody.
Parents have custody and custodial matters are addressed in family court. Non-parents are granted guardianship by a court and they are generally addressed in probate court.Parents have custody and custodial matters are addressed in family court.

It depends on the state, usually the state takes the children into custody, or the closest family relative.
not without your parents permission, but if they do, they should lose custody rights.

They do not have to give up custody. They should appoint a guardian to represent them.
No. This is the hirearchy in the usual situation for custody rights for a minor (child under 18 years of age), but there are exceptions (abusive family, etc.) Parents The Parents immediate family (excepting children) Adopted Guardians, or a sibling over the age of 18 See: Discussion page.
Often, a family member assumes custody of the child, either on their own (in which case they need to get legal custody ASAP) or through the State's child protection/child welfare agency.
No. Your parents must come to an agreement and change the custody order filed in the family court.
In the event of the death of a divorced/single mother, she can Will the child to them, but the father can challenge.
An intact family can't do that. A juvenile detention is related to the commission of a crime, so only the court does that. You can give up the child to family services, but the other parent can challenge for custody.
