That sounds right. That's fairly standard in many countries. Children are granted the citizenship/ nationality of the mother, as that can be proven. Father's nationality cannot be proven with an unmarried mother except through DNA.
Mack, unmarried in prison for violent murder, has no right to give her unborn child citizenship of the country where the prison baby was born. She and the father have USA nationality, and that's what the prison baby is granted.
Indonesian law regarding barring criminals from re-entering the country after deportation is similar to countries like Canada. Mack was delusional thinking that because her born daughter was in Bali, she could leave her daughter behind, return to the USA for 6 months, and then emigrate to Indonesia to live happily on her mother's inheritance.
Mack viewed her prison time as a joke. Thankfully she hit the wall hard with being escorted off the plane in handcuffs while her daughter thought she was on "vacation" with mommy.
That poor kid. I wonder what she’s being told about where her mom is now.
Heather is a delusional, entitled nut.
