In Washington - Yes, but only under certain conditions. For instance, police can take your child as result of a "probable cause" arrest, a court order, or via protective custody - typically relating to an immediate danger or threat to the child's safety.
Generally, children (under 18) are removed from their parent's care by Child Protective Services (CPS) after obtaining a court order. Police may assist CPS in that process but removal is conducted by CPS under authority of the court order.

This has to be confusing for the child. Take it up with the agency that governs your custody agreement tomorrow. It may be that the father had papers stating visitation rights and you were mistaken, otherwise police should not have come to your door. Hopefully you can smooth this process out so such a eventful exchange does not happen again.AnswerNo. The police officer had no right to act regarding the visitations. The father should have brought his claim that visitations were not being followed to the court that has jurisdiction over the case. The police officer should be reported. He was likely an acquaintance of the father.
