If visitation is court ordered, the 5 year old must go. If the parents try to interfere, court personnel could get involved to enforce the court's order. Often the courts use law enforcement such as county sheriffs or marshalls to enforce orders when necessary. Additionally, custodial interference is often a crime, for which police could arrest the interfering parent.
A 5 year old is far too young to have real feelings about visitation. If the 5 year old does not want to go, it is because one of the parents is telling him he doesn't. If the parents have issues with the visitation arrangement, they need to take it up with the court. To refuse to follow a court issued visitation order places the violator in contempt of court.
