Just a question: Under US law, assuming the parent is not abusive,
etc., to whom would the child go -- an aunt/uncle or a father/mother?
Would there be any doubts?

Construct a hypothetical case: A mother takes a child to another
state; mother dies en route; child ends up with aunt/uncle; father
(divorced) wants the child back. What happens?
