Un-effing-believeable. IT'S FATHER'S DAY!
Ok i find so much of this nauseating and wrong I really am at a loss for words simply because I don't know where to begin......rrrrrrrrr
ok first of all-our society seriously needs to reevaluate our definition of a "deadbeat dad" because when we use this term it is used as a blanket to cover pretty much any dad that doesn't live with his kid. Or someone that isn't giving the mother what the courts has decided should be his share of the childs expenses. You know what I think a deadbeat dad is? One that doesn't see his kids and doesn't try to. One that doesn't go to court and fight for his babies. One that is dissapointed that the IV-D is taking money out of his check and now he can't go clubbing or buy that nicer car. But how bout the one that is DEVASTATED when that money is gone b/c since it is gone they can't even afford to pay rent on a two bedroom apartment so his kids has his own bed to sleep in when the mother DECIDES he can see his offspring.....
And another thing...this article says that these men "collectively owe more than $1.5 million in child support". Prove it up. Prove that these women spent 1.5 million on the KIDS and not themselves or their boyfriends. I'm from fucking Missouri so SHOW ME. And ALL the men obviously have kids-and did NOT get to spend Fathers Day with them. Visitation and support are supposedly "seperate issues" when it comes to the court but it seems like you just interfered with the visitation of 103 men for the issue of support. Kept them in jail. Made them post bond. That money isn't going to the kids-that money is going straight to the clerk for the circuit court of cook county. That's 500$ that that man no longer even has the option of using for the benefit of his kids. These men's jobs were put in jeopardy. They were prevented from going to work. From looking for jobs. Because they're not paying support. This seems rather counter-productive.....maybe it's just me.
While I have you here-here's some post Father's Day MythBusting:
The whole concept of "child support" has spun out of control and this is another indication of that. Suspending professional lisences is completely counterproductive to the cause-it's just another way of "PUNISHING" a man for having kids. Some states are passing laws that require men to pay child support until the child is 23. No. After 18 you are an ADULT. And it should be the parents choice if they choose to assist their children beyond that. Period. You're telling me that I would have been better off had my parents divorced b/c then my daddy would have had to help me pay for school???? When in reality my parents wouldn't even help me with the senior fees associated with my last year of highschool??? Great message to send. I'd have been better off if my momma ran off with some other guy and divorced my dad and i only got to see him 2-4 days every other week b/c the government would be raiding his paycheck and hookin it UP???? Lemme out you up on something-my mom is an emotional wreck and a moral disaster. I would not have the extreme sense of responsibilty or the high moral fiber that I do today if I had grown up with my mother as my primary influence. I got that FROM MY DADDY. And thats not some random rarity. I have seen these psycotic bm(not babymomma-BIRTHMOTHER)'s lie and scheme and steal and brainwash. They SCAR their own babies emotionally and physically and let other people do it too. And the court only cares that the fathers "support" is paid up. Send these sheriff's not to pick up these men-send them to the houses of the mother to check and see that these kids are ok. That they're not scared. That they're not dirty. That they're not hungry. Let them see that brand new car or truck and the jewelry or DRUGS while the kids outgrew the clothes they're wearing 3 months ago.
I could go on and on. I really, really could. On and on. And for that reason I'll stop now.

130 Alleged Deadbeat Dads Arrested On Father's Day
POSTED: 6:39 am CDT June 18, 2007
UPDATED: 11:53 am CDT June 18, 2007
..startindex-->CHICAGO -- Richard Coleman's girlfriend had just given birth to a baby boy when the Cook County sheriff's office called his cell phone and asked him to meet them in the hospital's parking lot.He stepped outside and quickly found himself in handcuffs, one of the first arrests in a weeklong sting targeting deadbeat dads.
..>..>..>..>..>..>
Altogether, 130 men who collectively owe more than $1.5 million in child support were arrested, Sheriff Tom Dart announced on Sunday."For hundreds of thousands of people Father's Day is just a very, very painful day," Dart said. "It actually serves as a perverse reminder of just how difficult their life is because there is no father, and not only is there no father there, but there is someone who has walked away from their responsibilities."Coleman, a 28-year-old Evanston resident, owes a former girlfriend nearly $10,000 in child support for another child, the sheriff's office said Sunday. Another man owes his ex-wife more than $112,000 in back support.There was no phone listing for a Richard Coleman in Evanston.Dart did not know how many of the men were still in custody Sunday, but said many of them had been released on bond, including Coleman, who posted $500 to get out of jail.The men were all taken into custody without incident on civil contempt warrants for not complying with the terms of court-ordered child support. Dart estimates there are roughly 2,000 such warrants still pending in Cook County."This is an ongoing effort," Dart said. "We're going to continue going after these folks.This is not going to stop."The sheriff's office is also looking for four deadbeat moms who owe child support. ..stopindex-->

While I have you here-here's some post Father's Day MythBusting:
- Deadbeat dads: Divorced fathers pay 90 percent of the child support they have been ordered to pay. Fully employed divorced fathers pay all that is due. In addition, they pay visitation expenses. [Depending on the extent of the research providing the result, fathers (all fathers including never married) pay 70-80 percent of what they have been ordered to pay. The low end 70 percent relies on recipient surveys that do not account for money that is paid but withheld as repayment for welfare, and possible bias. In all cases, the primary cause of non-payment is that the person ordered to pay is unable to pay.]
- The No-Show Dad: The rate of contact between fathers and their children following divorce shows "paternal devotion and tenacity [that] is entirely at odds with the more popular image of the runaways, absentee, or disappearing dad."
- Standards of Living: Women with children are, as a group, better off financially following divorce than men. That's right, it's not the other way around.
- Terms of Divorce: Far from being docile, easily manipulated victims of a male dominated divorce system, women have always fared well in negotiations and settlements. Men are far more likely to be the biggest losers in the process.
- Emotional Issues of Divorce: Women are happier after divorce than men. Given the results related to the other myths, this is likely to cause the least surprise. They have the children, they are better off financially, they drive better cars, their situation is less likely to interfere with new relationships and remarriage ....
- Who leaves the marriage ... and why it matters: " ... women initiate the preponderance (63 - 75%) of modern divorces ..." It matters because it vindicates the finding that men do less well then women after divorce, because the blame heaped on men for divorce should be addressed, and because the myth serves to further unlevel the playing field of domestic relations law and politics on which fathers are already disadvantaged.
The whole concept of "child support" has spun out of control and this is another indication of that. Suspending professional lisences is completely counterproductive to the cause-it's just another way of "PUNISHING" a man for having kids. Some states are passing laws that require men to pay child support until the child is 23. No. After 18 you are an ADULT. And it should be the parents choice if they choose to assist their children beyond that. Period. You're telling me that I would have been better off had my parents divorced b/c then my daddy would have had to help me pay for school????
