Drunken dad arrested for abusing 10-year-old son (Orange County, Florida)

Is CHRISTOPHER MOORE a single dad? Notice that there is mention of a "relative" getting out of the house with the boy, and that the two of them locked themselves in the family van in order to get away from psychodaddy. But there is NO mention of a mother in the home. Is this because there wasn't one?
