Why do you have to agree with their stance to help a kid?
Have Americans become so divided that we won't help someone do what THEY want, if it doesn't match our own opinions?
As for your opinion, have you considered that maybe the kid will be better off if they just move? We are not talking about grown able body adults fighting for their rights. We are talking about a single mother and a skinny kid. If they stay and "fight the good fight" the kid may end up dead in a ditch.
This isn't even touching on the fact that the mother may never get a local job. That town has 3 or 4 churches and everyone knows everyone. There is a good chance she is permanently black listed from work.
You may think I'm crazy, but that is really how the South is. You really can be kept from work, persecuted and ran out of town. I've seen towns run people out thinking they were witches.
