    It depends. Being a mother is not the point here.

    For the 16 year old, yes, you can SEE the statements, but only if you are their legal guardian. You can then bring legal action against the trustee if necessary for the interests of the minor.

    The 19 year old, unless you live in Mississippi, is past the age of majority, so no.
