If it were *my* son I would move heaven and hell to find out and not ask a bunch of strangers on Yahoo.
If you are indeed 16 with a baby, you have a lot of growing up to do. Your baby should be checked by his pediatrician and if your motherly instinct is pointing you in the direction of believing he is being molested then you need to get to the bottom of it NOW.

While it is good to be vigilant against molestation, it is also important not to come to false conclusions. There was a case recently where a guy killed his neighbor because he thought the neighbor was molesting his daughter (but he actually wasn't).
Anyway, since the child is only four months old, I assume you think he's being molested because you've found some sign of injury or something? Just make sure that it is not just some normal rash or something, go to a doctor.
I also assume you suspect this because you yourself may have been molested by the same family members? If so, make sure you get some help and get the person responsible to face the police. Molestation is not something you can ignore because other kids are going to be victimized until the person is stopped.

ok this is kinda annoying, first in the previous something have you ever seen the drawing? Does it relatively look like a penis? if so is your son utilising the bathing room yet? possibly he's drawing his own, no longer understanding that's undesirable, yet make an appointment along with his wellness care professional so he can look at him and notice if this is definitely going on. If no longer then possibly you could locate out in the adventure that your husband/boyfriend is watching porn or something and in step with risk he observed it, and back does not understand that that's a bad factor. Do you have an open door coverage as potty preparation? that could additionally be the place he observed it, possibly he even walked in on his grandpa going to the bathing room. it must be quite a few issues if its no longer molestation. I do understand your concern, with so could perverts out in this international you could no longer purely help yet to think of of the greater severe.

Have you yourself been molested or one of your siblings by someone in your family? Because other than this, I can't see how you would think he is being molested. If you were, then get your son out of there. It won't be easy, but you owe him that much.
There isn't really any way to tell...I was molested by a family member at a young age, and my mother never knew until I was much older and told her. ANd she is a nurse!
If you are having concerns, then there must be a reason for them. Talk to your local womens crisis shelter for more support.
Good luck!

If you, yourself were molested while living with your parents and siblings, then it's possible that yes, your son is being molested as well. Get help, get out! If you were not, then it's likely that he is not. Either way, you're young (I was 17 when I got pregnant), and you should see if there's a young parent support organization in your city/neighbourhood. They can be a great source of support OUTSIDE your family.

What signs is he showing of molestation? Four months old is young to be showing any behavioral signs, but do you see bleeding, swelling? Who do you think is molesting him and why?

What makes you think he is being molested? Is he acting differently? Who would do that? If you think it is going on perhaps say something to your doctor next time you go in. Good luck

Since a 4 month old can't speak or act out in any way, what clues do you have that make you think this? I'm not saying he's not, but I don't understand how you could be thinking this unless you witnessed something.

You know this is nothing to be asking here. No one including me can tell you whether he has or not. We don't know the child only you and your family do. I would bring him to his pediatrition and ask him or her. They are the only ones would could truthfully answer this question.
