So dodgy .

Plus the parents of a school friend of my daughter "split up" at one point and the mum and kids "moved into a different house" on housing allowance... but weirdly enough... you could see that the dad was always there on her facebook... and there was some other random guy clearly staying in the "dad's" house... .
