Grandparents have certain rights in certain circumstances to visitation if asserted timely in a divorce situation. Your question is not clear whether the parents are divorced.
You may file a petition for guardianship of the child if you believe that it is in the childs best interests to have a guardian of his person. This is not an easy proceeding on the parties. However, if the mother is not taking care of your grandchild, you may have to act.
I suggest that you calmly discuss your concerns with the mother before you engage an attorney to pursue a guardianship.
