I would urge you to speak with an attorney. Your question is confusing. Are you asking what your parental rights are or what the 16 year old parental rights are? I am assuming the 16 year old is pregnant and you are the grandparent? If so, you have no "parental rights" over the baby as you are a grandparent and not the parent. The mother has the parental rights. Again, not sure what you are asking but you and the mother need to speak to an attorney before a bad decision is made.
