Quote:Juliette was not there for the kidnapping. She only bought the truck. Even that incident when Adalind came back to the house looking for help. Juliette would not lie about what happended. She did not even support Nick story. She even said if the royals had your baby. She then stated her regret and how she felt sorry for her. That is a personality trait that was gone once she became a hexenbiest in season 4.So what if she didn’t throw on a hood and pretend to be a Resistance member, she knew what was going down. She supplied the getaway car.
Even on the zombie episode they all had to work hard to get Juliette to go along with using Nick's false identification for the murder. Juliette was the only one that agonized over doing it. She even ask Hank are you OK with this. Even in her testimony to the detectives she only lied about not seeing the suspect.

If the other parent objects, he or she can go to court over it and it's likely the court would at least order the parent who turned the child over to someone else to produce that child while arguments were heard or be held in contempt. And in the real-world example you cite, that's exactly what the other parent did.That’s what I’m saying. Neither parent can terminate the rights of the other at will. If I remember correctly, the adoptive parents had the child for a little over two years when the court reversed the adoption order.

But you know, I get that Nick and his gang encounter situations that can't be handled through normal legal channels. My problem has always been that they never express being troubled by their behavior. As though they operate in an elite class with a closed membership, and societal rules don’t apply to them. And I guess they don't on Grimm. Grimms decide and deliver their judgment and don't accept oversight or interference. I don't know if the show actually describes Nick as a hero or that's just a fan response.(03-14-2017, 06:33 PM)Robyn Wrote: pish-poshReally??? How cool and old-timey. I like it. I have not witnessed anyone using that in quite some time. Kudos.

It’s illegal to kidnap a person’s child. It’s illegal to falsify police reports. It’s illegal to plant evidence. It’s illegal to murder and conspire to commit murder.
I swear if our culture drops it standards for heroes any lower the next Marvel superhero may be NAMBLA-man.
