Contact local children's services, which can investigate the situation, and determine what to do about custody.
To know if she can do that. Or if I can remove the order when I turn 18
Yes, parents can take actions to restrict others from having contact with their children. Whether an order can be lifted when you are a 18, depends on what the order says.
My grandmother loves me and would take good care of me what can we do
Your grandmother can contact children's services and discuss seeking temporary custody.

Basically with the situation I am now has made me start to look at apartments. When I get my car, I would like to move into an apartment by myself and have my father or mother sign the lease. Is it possible for me to do so legally?
The landlord will likely want a parent as a guarantor on the lease. Because you're a minor, you cannot legally enter into binding contracts, and without a parent/adult also on the lease as the responsible party, a landlord is unlikely to rent to a minor. A landlord may also be hesitant to... Read more »

I would be able to financially support myself. I want to spend time with my child but my parents won’t let me be a dad. If it was possible for me to get emancipated somehow I would live with my girlfriends parents. Is that a valid reason to get emancipated?
No, Ohio does not allow emancipation in those circumstances. See this link for more information:

He has just recently graduated from highschool and is moved out of his parents but we are still concerned about charges being brought up on me.
A 17 year old is a minor, and above the age of consent. If the parents don't disapprove, then there probably wouldn't be a problem, unless they change their mind. After age 18, no longer a minor.
Maybe, depending on what they are doing. Until the 17 year old's parents get the police involved.
Until he is 18, he cannot enter into legally enforceable contracts, like a lease, and parents are legally responsible for financial support until 18. If you give him permission to move out before 18, and he gets into trouble or causes damage, you could have some liability.
At 18, you are an adult and can live where you want. But you also will have to get job, a place to live, provide your own car insurance, health insurance, etc. if your parents remove you from their policies.
