And, where's the kids mother? Something very very off here.

Edit: Yeah, I read a bit more and whoever it is really seems to enjoy creating a whole elaborate backstory that's weirdly cheery. Says "he" was 11, the mother was 17, she lived with his family for a while but was kicked out for "bringing strange men over" and now "last i heard she was homeless and addicted to drugs I dunno". Really breezy about it. The whole story seems more ludicrous the more you think of it. The girl had no parents? The authorities were never involved, he says, though he was a child. I think it's all bullshit. This would have been tabloid news, it's too peculiar to believe.
