...but I didn't concede the behaviour was irrational though.
The behaviour reminds me best when illustrated by Fantine in Les Mis where handing over the child is what is best for the child given that is rational maternal behaviour. But I suspect there is more to that then just the child's welfare anyway. Whether you don't, doesn't change my opinion. Families are trying their best to get out Afghanistan right now and this is what desperation does. And that is why it is rational. We would do likewise in their position.
