This is a police issue that must be sorted out. The police have trained personnel that may interview the child and determine if an arrest should be made. They may also report this to CPS for their intervention. You should consider an emergency family law motion to ask for custody of your daughter. Feel free to contact my San Ramon office for a consultation concerning your legal options. These matters can move quite fast.
