My question was what events led to this opinion, not that your opinion was different or wrong. Looking at the four-episode span from birth to kidnapping, I don't see anything that supported the characters' rationale that Kelly taking Diana was the best or only option, but the resulting devastation that occurred in S4 confirmed it wasn't the best or only option.
The only thing clear to me is that the creative team wanted to get the baby character out of sigh out of mind until they were ready for her in the Nick/Juliette/Adalind storyline, and either didn't care how the characters came across or assumed viewers would accept the kidnapping because they're 'the good guys'. Is the good guys did it an acceptable substitution for establishing convincing motivation?
It might have been easier to accept the kidnapping had the show not chosen to present Adalind’s about face beforehand. But because they did, the good guys come across as arrogant and self-serving, while the supposed bad guy is desperately trying to keep her baby safe then equally desperate to get her back. And seasons 5 & 6 only makes them look worse, including Adalind.
