That is absolutely not true. His mother had a life threatening kidney diesease, and had to move to Canada to live with her parents.

That's her story.

Well, since it involved taking the year old child out of the country, there might have been bigger hurdles than a typical custody case.

We don’t know the details, but it is true that she was very ill. Maybe she put her desired second to the wellbeing of her son. I don’t know how old her parents are, or if they were capable of caring for their ill adult daughter and their very young grandson.

She left him with his father. There’s nothing unnatural about that.
