I understand how this mother feels...I have not lost my children to abduction but i have lost my 16yr old to an alcoholic whom i left to get her out of that situation.  I have been thru the court system and unless you have more money than God to pay a lawyer you can not and will not be heard in a court of law.  This mother did a heroic thing when she fled with her daughter. Mothers have a sense when it comes to what is going on with their children.  I believe she was doing what she thought was right and to pull time for such a thing just shows right there what the court system is made of.  There are mothers out there that do not care for their children, do drugs, set a bad example and pretty much abandon them and neglect them in that way and they still have their children because no one really cared enough to do anything about it.  I give a million kudos to the woman on the show.  She did what she thought was the best and obviously she tried going thru the court system and nothing was done to rectify the situation.  Which is usually the case in a lot of court cases.  People who do not have alot of money or resources to get the court to see what may be best for a child and to me that is sad.  I watch my little girl everyday have to deal with the effects that an alcoholic daddy can cause.  I was the daughter of an alcoholic father and it breaks my heart to know i worked and tried for 6 years to show her that a woman does not have to live like that and she runs to him instead.  So if i had the chance or the resources to take my child and make a better life for her until her dad got sober i certainly would do it.  I cant even get her dad to help with the second child as far as child support or anything else.  So if this lady felt like something was going on I commend her for taking the bull by the horns and making a statement.  Good luck to her! I think she deserves to have her child in her life! She obviously cares alot about her and would do anything to keep her safe!
