Well, yes. But obviously that would be an emergency removal if the child was in imminent danger.
There has to be more to the story.
as example if that happened (out of the blue) then they had to have acted on definite information. usually law enforcemnt is involved also. Then you would be given a hearing within 48 of removal to answer the allegations ( admit or deny); if you admit then services will start immediately to unify the family; if you deny there will be a hearing (a trial) inwhich you have the chance to present your side as the stste will present their evidence.
The child will stay in foster care until the court makes a determination ( ruling) that the child should be returned or stay in state care until certain requirements are met by you.
In a few jurisdictions, you can be appointed an attorney , but in most you are not entitled to a court appointed attorney since this is a civil matter. Legal services (legal aid) http://www.lsc.gov/ might can help you if you are income qualified.

No. A social worker has the same power as the police (or "police power"). They need a court order to enter your home just like the police. However, once they have a court order they can enter your home and possibly take your children. If you let a social worker into your home without a warrant, they can pretty much do whatever they want at that point because you gave them access even though they did not have a warrant. Then they can take your children, etc. because they often do not follow the law. Visit fightcps.com for more information. If you need to speak to a California attorney visit lwplaw.com.
Please read the following. Socials workers absolutely cannot enter without paperwork and take your children!
