A:
it is a very commendable thing you have done in caring for your nephew. unfortunately if there is no court order giving you rights to custody or guardianship of your nephew, you don't really have legal rights.
if you are concerned about the safety of your nephew, you can always ask for a welfare check from the police or call child protective services if you feel your nephew is in danger.
