Why do all this now?
Why didn't the father make a fuss over things while he was still alive if he/the Qatari relatives thought that the current living situation was so bad for the child?
Why did the uncle request armed guards for tomorrow's visit with the mother?
Why did the uncle earlier promise visitation and then renege?
Why didn't Qatari authorities ensure visitation with the mother had happened before this ridiculous length of time (nearly 2 months!!) had passed?
Why was a social worker unable to visit with the child (to simply verify his well-being) until last week?
Why did the family mislead the mother into signing something and take Adam forcibly instead of simply filing the custody case with the court and going about this whole thing by the book (assuming they knew Shariah law was on their side, what did they have to fear?)?
Is Adam currently enrolled in school somewhere in Doha? Or have they kept him out (and what's the plan for his continued education assuming they retain custody)?
How are they providing for his learning disability? Any health/emotional issues that have come up?
Why hasn't the family told Adam the truth about why he is here and why hasn't he been able to contact his mother (even by phone), if they were so convinced that all this was for his benefit?
Are the Jones' family genuine Muslims or was it a conversion of convenience?
Why did she come to Qatar to visit her son's relatives in the first place?
Was she truly unaware of how Shariah law operates?
Lots of missing pieces....
