Former Bear Richard Dent is suing his baby mama for custody of their 2-year-old son. Dent says his ex-girlfriend Pamela Vasser doesn't provide a safe home for Richard II because she's tested positive for cocaine, was convicted on prostitution charges, and her teenage daughter called Dent for help. "The teen, Taylia Vasser, said her mother was using drugs and at times left the boy in her care while going to nightclubs and out of town on escort "assignments," according to a notarized affidavit." Ayee. [S-T]
