What indication has been given to anyone that the child has been in danger of being around the father? I don't see any evidence of that. He saw the child TWICE.
Whether you question his character or not is a different story. He may not be the world's greatest husband or boyfriend but I don't see how he wants anything but to be involved in his child's life. And that's his right. And it's been taken away under criminal circumstances.
I don't see any indication of him being a threat to the child in any sense of the word.
I think it's a bit ridiculous to be so vehemently against the father. He has to be given a chance before he can even have the chance to blow it.
Regardless of all that, what the mother and the mother's parents are doing is incredibly illegal. They are seemingly aiding in the kidnapping of a child, whilst the mother has kidnapped the child. I'm shocked that anyone can be on board with that.
She will have to surface at some point. I don't get how she thinks she's going to be missing with her infant child forever. And at that point she'll be lucky if she's ever allowed to see her child again given that she's essentially kidnapped the child.
It's sad for the child. I tend to think she is somewhat local still and for the babies sake I hope that's true. Being on the run cannot be good for a child's wellbeing, especially if that includes some cross country road trip.
