    The mother failed to prove, on the balance of probabilities and by clear and cogent evidence, that the father either consented to or subsequently acquiesced in the child's permanent relocation to Hong Kong; the evidence relied upon was equivocal and capable of multiple interpretations; therefore the retention in Hong Kong was wrongful and a return order was mandated under the Convention.
