I used to work as an investigator for our State in the Child Support enforcement office. It was my job to skip trace the absent parents, find their home address and where they worked.
There are almost as many moms that are absent parents as there are dads.
In WV, I handled a caseload of about 3,000 absent parents just with the last name that started from A to C.
One of my funniest memories was triggered by reading this article, and the fact that it is happening in Cinncinnati.
One day I had to contact the Cinncinnati office.
I placed the call, and got an automated recording...
Press 1 if you are....
Press 2 if you are....
well, if I chose any of these I could reach a real person...But if I chose...
"Press 4 if you are a state employee from another state" I got bounced back to the main menu!!
I never could get through to a real person!
Seriously, having seen a bunch of deadbeats.. I am biased toward this... I think it is a wonderful idea!!
Of course, mandatory castration for someone that would have 8 babies with 5 different women sounds like a good idea to me also!!
Kids need taken care of!
I was in McDonalds over the weekend and one of the men (about 21 yrs old!) working the counter was talking to another one, and I over heard him say that his goal in life was to have 12 different kids from 12 different mothers... It took all I had in me not to say something that I would regret.
Deadbeats that only want one thing off their girlfriends need to held accountable.
