It seems to me the Roman Catholic Church should be saying something about all of this. Does the baptism count and the Church now considers her to be Catholic, or does it not count because it may be against a court order. If the Church says she is now a Catholic can the court order the Church not to so recognize her? In most religions nowadays forced conversions are not accepted as valid, but this is a young child with limited capacity to understand the implications of what was being done. If anyone knows the Church's teaching and position on these issues, I would be interested to know what it is.
