The more I hear about the sorry ass excuse of a female whose son was killed by a pedophile, the more I'm starting to think that she allowed the pedophile access to her son in exchange for drugs.

Sorry about the delay, we lost power for half of the day on Thursday.
Here are quotes from another article in the Baltimore Sun about this mess:
Baltimore prosecutors yesterday launched a child welfare investigation of the Harris family, saying possible charges against relatives and acquaintances of the 11-year-old boy who allegedly died at the hands of a registered sex offender could include child abuse and neglect.
...
Bertha Reid, Irvin's grandmother, said she was suspicious of Jones because he hung out with children often.
"I told her I thought something was wrong," said Reid, 59, of Shanda Harris. "I told her when I first met him. She had a drug problem, so she couldn't see."
Irvin, who would have been a fifth-grader this fall at Collington Square School, grew up in a Baltimore family strained by violence, financial problems and drug abuse, court records and interviews show.
His mother has struggled with a longtime heroin addiction; his father has been in prison for murder since Irvin was 3 years old.
Shanda Harris has been arrested and cited about a dozen times in Baltimore, according to court records.
She was found guilty last month in District Court of petty theft and put on yearlong probation.
Found guilty LAST MONTH?
I'm going to say this again. I bet she let that beast have access to her son for drugs or drug money.
