Actual title of the research paper is Elective co-parenting with someone already known versus someone met online: implications for parent and child psychological functioning.

It compares a small sample of two different co-parenting situations, and while it does conclude they are both within "normal range", it certainly doesn't make or justify the claim in the headline, which doesn't even mention co-parenting.

As per usual. Research papers must be misquoted or you're doing "journalism" wrong
