To: End The Hypocrisy
In the past, I have addressed questions you've put to me. Now I'd like to hear a response to #34, if you would be so kind. I've stood the whole issue on its head , but it is an actual child in this real circumstance. What do you think are the moral obligations entailed in the relationship I described?

I believe existing laws are sufficient to protect the child's rights. If the sugar daddy promises college and the daughter relies to her detriment in a reasonably foreseeable manner, then the laws of promissory estoppel / detrimental reliance protect the child's rights. Beyond that, I think it's unwise to discourage such folks from bonding with kids of single moms.
