If someone who does not have custody of your child takes your child and decide to not give them back what should you do?

Unless there is a court order in place indicating something to the contrary, you are the legal custodian of your child.  As such, you should be able to get your daughter from your godmother and take her wherever you want.  If anything, the police officers should have requested if your godmother had any proof to support her allegations that you were unfit and not allowed to be around your daughter, i.e. a court order indicating same.  If you are still unable to get your daughter from your godmother, I would recommend contacting an attorney.
