It depends entirely on the circumstances. You can able for a court order to get access. If I were you, I'd get in touch with Grandparents Apart Self Help Group (GASH).
GASH is a self help group dedicated to ease the suffering of grandparents and grandchildren and extended families torn apart. If you feel your problems could be resolved by mediation a trained counsellor is available to help you with your problems before the trauma of court cases, that splits families and harms children emotionally.
They can help in by:
~providing a helpline for anyone in distress, plus leaflets and literature;
~holding meetings where you can find a friendly sympathetic welcome;
~running a drop in centre for, a cup of tea, one-to-one talks or group meeting, writing letters to officials, offering mediation between family members.

I'm sorry ; We as grandparents have no rights unless one of the parents die. So unless the law of the land can be changed ? The link below is a good resource for PA and are pretty much the law across the country.You should contact a lawyer in your area for a consultation. If your old enought go to AARP web sight .

It's unfortunate, and I am certain heartbreaking, but parents should have sole discretion of access to their children.

Unfortunately you have no legal rights whatsoever - I know, it is wrong and I don't agree with it myself but that is how it is.

You have only the rights that the parents grant you.
It's THEIR kid, not yours.
