At least they've finally touched on it a bit with the whole "fate" thing and Lily always feeling like, no matter what she did in life, it didn't work out for her. Fate. Yeah, it's convenient, but I can buy it.

Even if Emma didn't believe Henry was her son, (and maybe she didn't right away, but what other kid is really going to come to her apartment, the right age, and address her by name like that?) she still had to take him to Storybrooke. That threat he made about calling the police would have held at least a little water. (Any decent cop would detain her if he claimed she kidnapped him). I don't find that hard to believe either.
