Taking son out of state?

I have placement of my son. My son's dad and I both work Wed so his dad's GF was going to watch him. My son told me that she was going to take him to a theme park...which is out of state an hour away. The court order states that if either parent wants to take him out of NY state, that we have to get written, notarized consent from the other parent. She never asked me first if she could take him, she just asked him if he would like to go with her and her two boys...so now.. my son is upset that I won't let him go. My ex has threatened that he would do whatever it takes to get custody of my son, and now that he has his GF he doesn't need me and he can take care of my son without me.

What do you think of this? What can i do?

Update:

someone asked me if I thought she might be trying to kidnap him..i dont think so...cause I would think she wouldn't even tell him where she was gonna take him

Update 2:

really....my court papers state "physical placement" , "joint custody"

    Well you could have given her written permission and had it notorized. You could have made this a teachable moment so they understand how simple it can be. If you don't trust her it is a completely different scenario, but I think you were really just kind of being a little bitchy about the situation. You guys need to try to get along.

    I think you overreacted and are using your son as a way to exert control over your ex.
