The Great Lie / int_82b039b7	comment	Artistic Licence – Law: Sandra gave up the baby. She now has no legal right to just decide to have him back after a year of abandonment. Although Maggie isn't Peter Jr.'s biological mother, she has been taking care of him and treating him as a son. He's hers for all intents and purposes. Perhaps Sandra may have a case that she made a decision under some sort of duress, but it seems she made this decision under a sound mind.
