More details to this question:
My niece has two kids. She is going to sign herself into a mental health facility to get help with her major depression. She wants to know if she can sign over her rights until she’s out and has her life together. Until I see fit. Can she do that? We live in Ohio. The dad to her son gets him twice a week and that’s it. The dad to her daughter wants me to get her.

Both parents, acting together, can sign a special Temporary Power of Attorney for Our Child, revocable at will, which will allow you to enroll the children in school, take them to the doctor, etc. This should be available from any family law attorney or legal aid office.
