Default bad influence on him

Helen's a bad influence on him(Tom).

I could understand the word influence on many occasions, but in this context I couldn't. So please explain to me what "bad influence on him" means here.

Default Re: bad influence on him

She influences him to do things he should not do. She is a bad influence on his behaviour and/or character
