The grandparents have NO rights and need to step back.

Dad also has no rights until he goes to court and files for custody/visitation. Until a court order is in place, the ONLY person with legal rights to the child is mom.

And that little funny legal step in Georgia called "Legitimatizing". TeenDad will have to do that, too.
