The woman whose son's behavior drastically changed when the new boyfriend moved in should most definitely trust her gut and take action immediately. It is extremely likely that her son is being molested by that dead-beat, no job, "boyfriend" of hers. Kids don't just suddenly start wetting the bed and go from happy-go-lucky to sad and somber unless something is seriously wrong, usually molestation. I am very worried for that boy. Our family suffered molestation and the signs were similar. The pain and havoc molestation causes the entire family is devastating and life-long. My heart and prayers are with that poor boy.

Dear Larry: This woman should take drastic action IMMEDIATElY! Her son is exhibiting classic signs of molestation. I believe a person should always trust their gut instinct. Although she doesn't know how a father is supposed to act, she is 25-years old; that is old enough to know that her instincts are trying to tell her something. She should always think of her child first in everything. Children have to depend on adults and this poor child has 1 adult hurting him and another not protecting him. Reading this article this morning has upset me alot and makes me wonder how long this has been going on before she even thought to write to you. Does she really think this is an ethnic issue?

Re: MediumSizedSueOrlando Well said. This woman is behaving in such a dumb, selfish and short-sighted manner it hurts. I pray that she will wake up. Her behavior has very likely caused permanent damage to her son. Note to parents: In case you didn't know - Your kids come first! That's right, before you and definitely before anyone else!

I wish people would focus on the issues (and the candidates' policy proposals) this election and quit prattling on about the candidates' families and personal lives. Barack Obama Muslim this, Sarah Palin teenage daughter that. It's tiresome and not productive in the least.

She said... We almost immediately started living together. When she has a SIX year old!?! This woman has sh!t for brains. First, any single parent should not even be seen to be DATING in front of their child until they have known that person long enough to be sure it is a committed, potentially long-term, relationship. Kids need security and to have people coming and going from their life is harmful to them. They see how easily the parent "replaces" someone they supposedly "love" and project that onto themselves... "will Mommy get tired of me too?" Also... it sounds like he was "over the top" romantic with her from the very beginning... a BIG red flag in any relationship, as a "normal" person does not fall in love that quickly and certainly, even if infatuated, does not shift into high romantic gear until enough time has past to be sure. Then... she lets a guy LIVE with her and be alone with her son when she barely knows him? Honestly... this woman needs some SERIOUS parenting classes, and maybe some counseling to see why she is so insecure that she would fall for this... and put her own needs/wants in front of the well being and safety of her child. I give you 90% odds this guy is a child molester. This woman's every pedophile's wet dream... insecure so willing to believe the immediate "I love you's" ... working so that she is not around. No wonder he is not trying to get a job... if he did he would have less access to the kid and also not be able to "control" the situation by being there to insure the boy doesn't talk.
