When a story needs a CPS*(Child Protective Service) on the father's case. There is a list of reasons why the CPS will never let him near the kids again, and one of the biggest reasons is kidnapping
Tbf, if CPS was told by an innkeeper that a woman just left a child with him and the bio dad then shows up, they'd probably rule in his favor. To them, she abandoned her own child with a complete stranger and they have no idea if she would come back.

That actually makes a lot of sense now that i think about it
He fcking kidnapped his own child
