The single mother lives in a poor section of town, with too many children, no prospects and little hope. They barely scrape by, even on government assistance.
When the oldest son returns home one day with a brand new cell phone, his mother asks no questions though she knew he could not have legally afforded to buy such a pricey item. Encouraged by her silence, the son continues to bring home costly items. And cash, and things for the household. His mother does not question how he got the stuff.
All she knows, or cares to know, is that, as far as she is concerned, the economy has improved.
