Apparently this happened three weeks ago and the news is just coming out now. Winston Peters as usual has no idea what is happening and is too busy licking Trump's boots to actually say or do anything.

Ah, you’re conflating her understanding of the situation after she realized there is an issue with her understanding of the situation before she realized there was an issue to justify callous comments devoid of empathy.

She’s got 3 kids and is a victim of domestic violence. Perhaps her choice to stay was rooted in some unfair custody arrangement that would see her losing one or more of her children. That’s conjecture. We may never know the details of her reasons. But we do know that you could have chosen to say nothing.

Are you dense too?
" 3 kids and is a victim of domestic violence. " has got shit to do with her moving to the shithole before.
It's her selfish decision to not wait for the travel permit that is the problem.
These are the facts and her fault that poor kid has to suffer.
If you have nothing but irrelevant emotional BS and conjecture maybe you should choose to say nothing.

Originally entering the U.S. sponsored by her ex-husband

It might have to do with her moving.

What you deem as ‘emotional BS’ establishes that she’s got other things to focus on than the nuances of immigration law, and a pretty darn good reason to stay in the U.S., should custody be messy.

I just really don’t know what to say here. Best of luck in the world. I hope you figure it out.
