You misinterpreted what I wrote. I think returning the kid to the Moo when he misbehaves would teach the kid that acting bratty will NOT get him Daddy's attention: in fact, acting bratty will get him LESS of Daddy's attention.
Also, in many of these cases, the spouse is the one poisoning the child against the non-custodial parent and that person's girlfriend or boyfriend. I have a hunch one of the reasons the kid is acting this way is because Moo has given him a clear message that Daddy's new girlfriend is not someone to be respected.
