Okay, so... it is not even sure from the article that Derrick was H.s son, just that Derricks mother was H.s ex wife. LE was acting very weird. They knew the child was abducted and put the guy in prison. But did not check further on the childs whereabouts and wellbeing and believed the guys very fishy and bizarrw story that he "sent Derrick off to Amman, Jordan (!), to be raised as a Muslim". I mean, H. was an American guy who probably converted to Islam and changed his name - why on earth would he have relatives in Amman? And even if, it is illegal to remove a child from custody and send him to another country without the (other) parents consent. Also, why didnt LE ask him to prove his story - send immigration records, visa, flight tickets, a contact in Jordan for the child? I mean, its Jordan in the Middle East and not some Jordan in the USA. They just believed his very very fishy story.
