Context matters when it comes to these types of scenarios, plenty of brutal situations for mother, children and social circle all around.

There are things that shouldn't be happening in our society when it comes to things like drug abuse, mental health, sexual exploitations and more and everybody ends up paying the price.

People get hung up too much on words and on feelings as opposed to improving situations on the street and the lives of all involved. Adopted daughter at birth or a young age? Yes, she would be effectively a daughter. If she is not legally adopted but the family is more of caregiver, providing shelter, food and support during what could be a terrible mental illness/drug abuse situation? That is probably a bit different.

There are a million scenarios that could be playing out and my guess it may be one of the worst ones.
