But, the overwhelming sentiment in the MLC archive (not only this thread) is that most/all here seem to advocate the "hard decision" of remaining passive in regards to their children.

Thankfully, my lawyer does not share that sentiment - in regards to the context in which my wife placed our daughter in the situation I described.
