The boy didn't want his mother arrested. He merely told his teacher about the fact that he saw his photo. The teacher thought she was doing the right thing.
After 14 years, the entire custody decision should be reconsidered before action is taken, in my opinion. The kids life at that point might have been completely acceptable. The father could have changed dramatically.
The decision on who gets custody is often made be an over-worked or underpaid or poorly educated social worker with his/her own agenda. The judge rubber stamps the social worker's decision. It is often ill-considered and unjust. For the losing spouse to fight the decision legally can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take years.
I have been falsely accused of child abuse by an ex-spouse, so I know what it's like. My sister's husband once tried to kidnap his kids and my sister got in more trouble than him! My brothers and I even kidnapped my sister from the moonies. There's alot of shit that goes on, so don't pre-judge. Don't depend on social workers or the legal system to know what is "just".
I would think the boy is old enough now to choose with whom he will live. I feel sorry for the mother n this case.
