"...pimp" also comes to mind, considering what she just revealed about her mum... /sYes, perhaps a sibling. Maybe even a disabled person she needed to take care of. At least, this seems more plausible to me than STD, since this dialogue was about her family.
On a more serious note, I think she was about to mention a step-dad or sibling, rather than a child. If she had a child, who would be looking after it while she's at college or working? I doubt she'd trust her parents. Besides, in Ch 5, she runs away from home, alone... The only plausible child scenario would if a governmental agency took custody away from her.
