Q: Can a police officer pick a child up from school without parent permission to

A: It depends. Why did the officer pick him up? Did he murder someone? If so, the officer can arrest him and take him to jail. Did he commit some kind of assault on another student? Or a teacher? If so, the officer can arrest him and take him to jail. If the officer's purpose had nothing to do with his duties as an officer of the law, then I'll venture a guess that he probably is not supposed to take the child anywhere. We will need to know more facts before we can hazard an answer.

WARNING: I am not your lawyer and providing you with the generic information, definition, clarification or explanation you seek about a legal matter on this anonymous forum does not make me your lawyer. By answering your question I am only trying to provide you with general information that will deepen your understanding of the legal concept that appears to be an issue for you, that will hopefully guide you in selecting and communicating with a lawyer of your choosing. The reason for all this is that legal problems are intensely fact-driven, and it is impossible to give anyone correct legal advice without comprehensive inquiry by the lawyer into the specific facts of the situation that concerns you, and the law of the jurisdiction in which you reside, and that is impossible to accomplish through this website. Even though I am not your lawyer, if I should later become your lawyer no representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
