That's just it. Given the implied state of parental involvement...he might not have. I'm gonna go
way out on the limb here, and suppose that the kid has no father, or any other positive male role model, in his life. His mother? Well, we
see what
she's about. I'm guessing that her involvement in his life is negligible, at best (maybe that's a
good thing). I'm going to further suppose that he was raised in an environment that demeans women. To him, all a woman is good for is one thing. Respect? None. Just Bitches and Hoes.
It also sounds, to me, as though this "flipping" (never heard that term before) is common place in his 'hood. If so, then this was nothing new to him, and was probably seen as normal occurance. Then...one wonders about the environment that the 11 year old girl is from. Did she do it for fun? Was it an initiation rite?
You may not believe that he didn't know that what was going on around him was wrong...
I may not believe that he didn't know that what was going on around him was wrong...most of us here may not believe that he didn't know that what was going on around him was wrong...but I think that may very well be the case here.
