I'm not a lawyer so I have no idea if there's something on the books about such deceptive practices and the resultant liability. The problem I see is, it's all hearsay...Puddles claims she said *this (lies about birth control)*...fact is, he
admitted he didn't use a condom so he never took reasonable precaution (and believing what a f*ck-buddy *tells* you is not reasonable precaution). Puddles knows, even with proper precaution, that there is ALWAYS a chance of pregnancy (and at that point, the odds of it happening or not, isn't even relevent), so I cannot fathom how anyone can claim they'd not understand the consequences of sex, protected or not.
And I'm not making excuses for her behaviour, it's a crappy situation...and I speak as a former kid from a legal union who's parent abandoned the family for the simple reason that she, and her sisters, weren't the boys he wanted.
edit: I will admit that from the sounds of it (her having another child and being in her very early 20's) that she is exploiting Puddles economic situation for her benefit.
