So he took his newborn baby from the hospital and he's claiming that it's his baby he should be able to take his baby.

There are people who are debating about this and are saying that a father should have a right to take their baby even if it is a newborn and then there are people who are saying that a newborn should be with their mother and they can work that out later but the newborn should be with their mother first. What do you think?
