That sounds like child abuse to me This is against the law, and is classed as assault and child abuse. If this is occurring, contact local law enforcement.

Can a custodial parent prevent the non-custodial parent from having someone else pick the child up from school?
School is not a place of visitation, and ultimately the school is responsible for returning the child to the custodial parent at the end of the day, unless that specific custodial parent has notified the school of other arrangements. In this situation, it is imperative that the court order that sets forth legal custody be on file at the school.You need to check the laws in your particular jurisdiction by consulting an attorney or an advocate at the family court. Your question implies a non-custodial parent taking the child out of school during the school day. Generally, Unless the parents have shared legal custody, the non-custodial parent has no right to remove the child from school.The parent with sole legal custody should make certain the school has a copy of the court order that granted them sole legal custody. If someone other than the custodial parent will be picking up the child during the school day the parent should notify the principal in writing and also call to confirm. If necessary, the school should have on record a copy of the visitation schedule if the non-custodial parent will pick the child up after school on their visitation days.

It depends. If your father has part custody of you... then it'd be accepted more than if your legal guardian had full custody over you.

But if your father doesn't have joined custody, or even less custody than your legal guardian, he can get in a bit of trouble for taking you if you go there.
