“I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody. I’m ashamed to say that, and I did it for maybe a week – hoping some ‘single mother’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could desire her.”
Even "against his mom's wishes" is a stretch. Sure, in a literal sense she didnt want her son to race, but acknowledged he could help them and ultimately let him do it.
Granted, I also don't think she knew about Qui-Ron's wager for him, but obviously was glad her son got to be free.
Been a while since I've seen the prequels, though, so apologies if my memory is wrong.

He didn't steal the child, he won it fair and square in the aforementioned gambling!

It's not cheating if they cheat first

Single moms deserve to feel desirable too.

I didn't know who you are. I didn't know what you want. But I will find you, and I will desire you.

I don’t know who you are, or how you ended up here, but when I come. You’ll be the first to know.

Preferably before a farmer comes in to buy her as a sex slave.

Child labor and endangering a minor for making it compete in a high risk lethal sport for profit. Human trafficking. Jedis were wild.

Hey, hey, hey. He didn't steal the child. He won him (in an illegal betting contest he may have entered him into against the child's mom's wishes).

There's a reason Dooku was friends with Qui-Gon. I like to imagine a better PM which would have shown that.
Like Qui-Gon and Dooku are working from the inside to reform the Jedi and take out Sideous but then QuiGon dies.

A child without one parent isn't a child, it's a clone. And those clearly don't have rights in the galaxy far, far away.

Either a clone or a spontaneous midichlorian conception.
