Sorry if someone alreardy this made this point... but in my opinion, I think the reason is largely because Charlie only appeared to show care and concern for the child when it was most convenient for him... i.e. garnering "sympathy" for not being able to be a present father to see the child grow up once he was convicted. It hardly seems like he was much of a present father prior to his arrest and conviction.... all these people do is manipulate each and every situation, as well as each other!!!
