Does this mean he is not her son, or is it just goofy phrasing? Where are the parents? Civil suit?
I saw that too, "in her care," and wonder if the child is from a different set of parents? It is not discernable from the article. Although if the parents were/are others then it truly debunks the courts attitude of cultural ignorance for her and would bring to light neglect on the part of the parents.
