"My first thought is grab this child and run, however that isn't the right answer and two wrongs don't ever make a right! So don't do that!"
I must disagree with this statement. Where the childs life is at stake, do what you must to protect it.
When there are laws that are not being upheld, corrupt authorities and unscrupulous judges etc... , then the rights of this child to live can be protected by breaking the unjust setup of the law.
