Yep! Despite what most people believe most abduction/missing child cases are not stranger danger, they're a parental abduction. Typically it's a custody battle though sometimes it's them avoiding a child protection investigation. I suspect that child is not now going to be going back to their parents but rather to a CPS foster family.

Exactly, wherever there is money there is always going to be forgeries. Egyptomania in the Victorian era for example drive the creation of plenty of fakes. Sometimes it wasn't even about the money, take the Piltdown Man for example, for Dawson it was just about being famous.
