Lets see... Barry's father abandoned his family leaving his mother and grandmother to raise him. Around 18-20 years later his father sired a child with some woman somewhere in Kenya. And he is irresponsible and uncompassionate for being unaware? Hmm.... if he has no contact with his father after he left, how would he be informed of this?
Sounds like something on the front cover of one of the tabloids at the grocery store.
