You haven't spend enough time around juvenile delinquents and their families if you give full credibility to mothers without knowing any other details about the relationship and history of the guy.

One of the attorneys in my office tossed mommykins out when she was not getting the point that her kid was not the victim.

You get the feel for who you can do business with and who you can't. For instance, one mother calls the police on her son when he goes ODD. I like her and generally trust her reports because he's just being a violent jerk.
