More details to this question:
Is it legal for a 13 year old to move out of the grandparents' house because they keep the kid inside? The mom passed away and the child moved out of the step-dad's house. The father is in jail and the child had no choice but to move in with the grandparents.

Unless the grandparents have legal guardianship (or some other court order for custody or placement) , they have no legal right to tell the child anything. Either the step dad or the grandparents should file for a guardianship.
