Didn't the child's grandparents on either side buy a Christmas present for him? Nor his father, nor his Uncles or Aunties, Jack's friends or Jack's grandparents or wider family? The child would have no idea where the presents came from at that age. To be honest they would have no understanding of the concept of presents at the age of one.
Surely her parents would invite her around for Christmas, knowing she was a single parent

. I can not believe that anyone close to her would not invite her and her son for the day, it is after all the season of goodwill. She supposedly has so many friends and supportive relatives, but they all stood by and let her stay on her own, regardless of whether they knew her financial circumstances. As soon as her mother heard that Jack's son would be at his fathers, wouldn't she offer for Jack to come over for Christmas lunch?
What sort of heartless people does Jack have as friends and family?
Or it could all be exaggerated for effect, even if there is a grain of truth.
