Q: I wasn't home and a cop came into my home treating my minor child telling him he would take him to jail if he did move.
They had no warrant and looking for a minor child my son knows. Our they allowed to do this? They are also city cops and I live in the county
A:
No, they should not have entered your home, nor threatened your child. They however did have the right to ask your son about the other boy.

A: If you kid let him in then the cop probably legally entered your home. Kids as young as 9 have been deemed to have the authority to allow cops into the house.
