Was looking on IMDb and noticed both last names are Wagstaff. Cheese was Randy’s father.

I may be the only one that didn’t know this but have never seen it mentioned. Uncle Prop Joe should have put Randy to work. He had some good candy selling hustle.

Regardless, Simon has no regrets. He even made a point of exonerating HBO for "The Wire's" shorter run this season by explaining that if they truly needed more time to wrap up their story (which initially included the revelation that Randy is indeed Cheese Wagstaff's son)

Given how Randy ended up in a youth home and how his personality changed, he'll be working for somebody soon.

There’s a scene in S4 where a dickhead police catches him & asks him his name. He says Randy Wagstaff, dude replies “I know you ain’t lying, wouldn’t nobody make that shite up.”

Yeh there have been a lot of fan speculation about this, as well as the post above with the quote. I like to think that is the case, as Cheese seems like the kinda guy who would have kids he wouldn't know/care about. "A class on evading Child Support Payments? Where Cheese go to enlist?"

That’s perfect.

I did some googling and found the same info others did. He could have at least let the kid watch his dog.
