He died when she was 4. Do you remember shit from when you were 4. Let alone your "mom and dads" real names? Probably not, you just called them mom and dad... Wait, fucking read the article it says all this right the fuck in it.

Frankly i dont see this as being all that tramatic, and i blame the mother more than anything. The kid obviously hadnt made the connection that it was her father in the picture. She had to ask her mother about the name. When the mother heard the name perhaps she should have asked what spurred the questions. At which point she could have diverted it saying it was an uncle, or distant relative. Especially if the kid had never asked a question about her father, or learned his real name.

Now if she had burst into tears in the class room and wimpering said "thats my dad". I could understand a lawsuit.
