I think a much more appropriate reference is the case of two women coming before Solomon claiming the baby is their baby.
There is a special case for people seeking US citizenship. They can jump to the front of the line if they are claiming asylum. But how do you know if their life is truly in danger or is this just a lie so they can jump in front of the line? Well, if you felt that your child would be killed if you return you would certainly stick to your story even if it meant being separated from your child, just as what happened in the case with Solomon.
