The answer depends on the circumstances and you haven't provided any details so the following is general information that may be helpful.
- If the grandmother has custodial rights under law and the father has lost or given up his parental rights, yes, she can keep him from seeing his son. The law may be different in different locations, so a father in that situation should consult an attorney who practices in the locality involved.
- If she has legal custody of your son or is acting on the instructions of someone else who has sole legal custody, yes.
- If you have parental rights and visitation rights the grandmother does not have the right to keep you from seeing your son without a court order to that effect.

∙ 10y agoNot without a court order.
If extreme circumstances are present, a court may grant a grandparent full custody and not allow the parent any visitation rights. However, generally courts encourage parents and children to have a relationship so even if the parent doesn't have custody they will be provided with visitations unless the court deems otherwise.

It very much depends on the situation and if there are any outstanding court orders the parent is trying to avoid. There are cases of abuse where it is the only choice for the safety of parent and child. As a parent, you have to act as wisely as you can in favor of the child, especially if you are "just" mad at the other--always is better to keep the other parent in the child's life. Sometimes being reasonable and acting as if things are amicable is the shortest way to solving the aggravation.

Generally, only under circumstances in which there is clear evidence that the child is in an unsafe environment, and has been reported as such. And in that case the parent must file for an emergency order with the court of jurisdiction. It will be followed up by a full hearing within a couple of weeks.
