I forgot to mention that the boyfriend was a sex offender and had other charges against him. He had been raping her since she was 15, she 19 now. And the mom has other children, but the article didnt mention how many others.
The problem with a lot of single mothers I know is that they are desperate and hop from relationship to relationship, without getting to know someone. Like that mom could've searched the sex offender website and found him before moving him in with her children. I mean relationships now adays have changed. Being a single mom, moving in your bf/gf in, getting furniture, cars, etc in your name for someone your dating all of it is so normalized people dont think twice about doing it
