Your question is irrelevant since there are no "boyfriend " visa. What is a 'family member'? If you are an EEA or Swiss national, your non-EEA family members who have the right of residence in the UK are: your husband, wife or civil partner your children or grandchildren (or the children or grandchildren of your husband, wife or civil partner) who are under 21 years of age or are dependent on you?
Added: The EU law does not apply since you are a British citizen who is obviously living in the U.K. EEA family permits are only issued to family members of non-British EU citizen who make use of their treaty rights to live and work in other EU countries. Since British immigration law applies there won't be a chance to settle in the U.K. for boyfriends.
E.g. Via Irish Granny. To address the question as given.
If he only a USA citizen, and you don't intend to marry him, he can only visit. He cannot live with you and your child as a family, even he is the dad. Sorry that's the British law.
While the Zambrano Case did give a lot of families hope, But the UK turned it on its head, the only way he could qualify is if he becomes the sole carer of your child, and you as a couple split up. However If you do intent to marry, then he needs to apply for a entry clearance, using form VAF4A: for more details see http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtop...
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
