There are other ways a mother can lose custody to the father which have nothing to do with her being a 'bad' mother. For example: if the child is old enough and expresses a desire to live with his or her father, the judge will often take the child's wishes into consideration when making his or her determination. If the parents live in different towns, the judge may also take into consideration which parent has more family living near by, which can provide stronger family support. Also, if the father lives in an area which can provide better schooling, the judge may take that into consideration, as well.
None of these guarantee that a parent will win custody, it largely depends on the judge, and all of the circumstances.

Only in cases of illegitimate births. Well, the mother can take the child but she can't stop the child from seeing the father. the child deserves to see the father in their life. The father can also take the child back and the parents can share time with the child. Or the child can make his/her own decision to live with the mother or father.
