I think this woman was too trusting in light of past published child custody issues. It has nothing to do with what she has done or not done.

The paternal familiy has acted heinously but within the "legal" statutes of the country where the child was at the time of the abduction.

IMHO no ethical and moral court would support the abductors, but a supposed "legal" one might.
