Oh, and MAN! $20??? Holy fuck, that's a scam that could really put you in the red!
Thing is, dude, you called it a "scam". You asked her on a date, and her answer, according to you(!), was that she would love to, but she'd need help paying for a babysitter. IMO, that's pretty damned straightforward. Scams aren't exactly known for being straightforward. The problem here is that you used a pretty heavy word to describe a pretty light situation, which only puts forth more bigotry against single parents, which you don't seem to mind doing. In your case, though, I see that this woman dodged a big bullet when you stopped responding to her.
These are people. They're not monsters; probably not even criminals most of the time, but you're willing to make them look that way for your own bias.
