18. Otherwise, the custodial parent may be held in contempt of court for failing to abide by a court order. Contempt of court may lead to jail or a modification in the custody order giving the child's custody to the non-custodial parent. A child cannot refuse to visit the other parent until they reach 18 years of age in virtually every state in the United States.
However, the child DOES have the right to write a letter to the judge with jurisdiction in the case outlining the reasons why they do not want to visit their parent (and those reasons better be good and truthful) or engage an attorney or guardian ad litem to petition the court on their behalf to do the same. The judge may take the child's wishes into consideration, but ultimately, he or she will rule in favor if the best interests of the child, which almost always includes the child maintaining contact with both parents.

No unauthorized person should be allowed to take a child from day care.

Generally, not until the child is 18.
if the child doesn't want to see the noncustodial parent he doesn't have too. don't force him to do it =)
