Abduction

Character mistake: Near the end of the movie, Dr. Bennett told Nathan that he could live with her and be able to finish the school year (without having to transfer). Assuming Nathan was a minor (under 18 years of age), Dr. Bennett did not have the legal authority to simply take custody of Nathan. There are proper court procedures to follow; a judge would have to agree and sign a court order declaring Dr. Bennett as Nathan's (temporary or permanent) legal guardian.
