<span>Site ends in ".edu"
</span>An attribute of a website that will indicate a more reliable source of information is when the site ends in ".edu". It is a top level domain for education. It would mean that this particular site is linked with universities, colleges or other educational sites thus it gives more information that are real and factual.
Based on my point of view I would think of it as Kevin showing his compassion for his father, or trying to show a link for family care.
And no, I don't think it has anything to do with Kevin being a little thief. XD Unless that's what the story portrays.
