RSBM for focus.
CG's dad was former law enforcement and I'm guessing, MOO, that he was strictly against anyone taking illicit drugs. I'm sure they knew their son had issues, but maybe they thought he would step up to the plate and taking on this responsibility would make him a better man. Plus, I'm guessing that CG always had an excuse why Corey had a bruise and they wanted to believe it.
Big mistake.
There are things I question from both CG's and BM's stories.
Like getting pregnant via SA. MOO, but when a male truly rapes you -- you don't tell him you're pregnant. You don't go near him. You tell the cops if you're brave enough, but you don't go chatting up the rapist.
MOO
The other thing I question that BM claims is that she didn't realize the state would go after child support if she gave them Corey's dad's name. I'm sure the grandmother thought it was important for CG to pay his fair share, but if Corey was conceived in rape, I think it's unlikely BM would have offered up his name. She had to have known it would bring her rapist back into her life.
And then there were the drugs. It's hard for me to believe that a mother who puts drugs before her child really cares all that much. The grandmother seemed to be the rock in that family.
I think both CG and BM are losers as parents. Little Corey never had a chance with those two.
