Grimm just sweetened it up by having Conrad slip a ring on Adalind's finger and pronounce her a princess.irukandji your arguments ignore the facts of the circumstance of the situation. From a legal standpoint there is an argument that they did the right thing.
I called the kidnapping of Diana an atrocity because it was committed by the one guy who's supposed to be better because he's a cop and swore to uphold the law. His involvement in kidnapping a child makes it an atrocity. In my opinion of course.
Even in the most primitive tribes there is some form of official marriage. Do that have legal contracts attached no. But they do have an acknowledgement that is more the saying, this is my wife.
As for the kidnapping you keep repeating you see it as an atrocity. You not once have you ever addressed the issue of, they hold on to Diana they would die. You have suggest that the group could provide protection. Yet the show has shown they want someone dead that person is dead. Plus name one instant that someone was protected from harm. If Adalind can inflict harm time and time again. What would make you think Viktor could not do the same thing. We saw Viktor kill the head of the varret for failing. So we know what he is capable of.
As for Nick breaking the law. The captain was involved and their actions could fall under protective custody. Which he would have the right seeing as Diana is his child. Could Adalind file charges sure but it would be a private citizen against a police captain arguing what is best for the child. Seeing how Adalind entered the country illegally to begin with. Her credibility would be called into question. Remember Diana is as much his as she is Adalind's.
You also have to consider any court in any state presented with the contract that showed Adalind sold her child. Would advocate Adalind lose custody and be arrested for child endangerment. You can not sell your child. Even if you do regret it later and try and resend the agreement. As for she signed up duress. She accepted payment which would invalidate any claim of duress.
In summary
Had they keep Diana based on what we have seen in the show Viktor would have killed Adalind and Sean. The show has never shown anyone able to be protected from harm. I think Juliette would agree on that fact.
Hiding the child from the Royals can not be said was in the best interest of the child. As for the court they always side with what is in the best interest of the child.
As for Adalind and custody. She entered the country illegally, plus she signed a contract and accepted payment in exchange for her child. That would cause any parent in any state to lose custody.
As far as the show has indicated. Nick does not know she sold Diana. I wonder if he did would he be so willing to trust her with Kelly. Now that she has run off with Kelly, if he finds out about Diana. Will he still be willing to be so understanding of her doing what she needed to do.
Once the king was dead, the resistance took Diana and did not give Renard a chance to see her. She was not in as much danger and if Renard was on there side he would have warned them about the upcoming attack from black claw.
