If I give power of attorney to a friend to go pick him up with a police essocort would that work? Is there another route you suggest?

I don't know about the law in Pennsylvania, but in Texas, because you are the child's mother, you may pick up your child anytime you want and keep your child as long as there are no court orders concerning where the child is supposed to live.
However, you should make sure that you have a good living situation for the child. Your mother may file documents with a Court asking that the child stay with her because that's where the child has been all this time. In Texas, the Court will consider what is in the best interest of the child. You need to make sure that you can show that living with you is in the best interest of the child.
