Kawaisou is one word, meaning "poor" or "pitiable". The word is used to comfort someone, usually children.

You are correct. When little children call their parents, they say "まま".
"かわいそ" it's "かわいそう=可哀想" which means pity, poor, feel sorry to.
So ままかわいそ means Feel sorry to my mom, or I feel pity about my mom.

Sorry Sadist

Thanks, its a  very weird word.

nylanrd4, where did you see this word being used?
