Victim wants rapist's parental rights restricted

[Heather MC]

119. Let me tell you what happened to people I know and stories I have read

1st Case, A father paid for his son most of his life, he was actively in his life, his entire life. When the Child turned 16, the father fell on hard times and lost his job. The mother didn't like that and decided to take him to court for Child Support. The Court Decided to make him pay for ALL 16 years prior basically telling him he was 16 years behind, even though he and the mother showed proof he had been actively envolved in his sons life and paying money up to that point. Who is that helping?

2nd Case A friend of mine is raising her grandson, she decided to take the father to court because he was $1,000 behind on CHild support, his first offense. He got sent to jail that was 6 months ago, he is still there. He is unable to pay additional child support, and the amount he owes is continually racking up. The Grandmother told me it was never her intent to get him arrested. And she wrote a letter to the court asking them to reverse the decision. Now the Child is not receiving any Child Support. Who does that help?

3rd Case Another Friend, had a baby daddy who got one of those over paid contractor Jobs in Iraq. They decided it would be easier to have the courts Garnish his wages, than rely on snail mail to send money. Now this guys was making 300K per year in Contractor Job, and his intention was to pay. Welp the Childsupport Agency, was not taking the money out properly, one month they would take $160, the next month $500. The total amount was suppose to be $875. The mother would only receive $200 one mother, $120 the next. Meanwhile unbeknowst to both the Father and the mother, the Child support Agency was creating a balance against the father saying he was in the rears. The mother was calling the agency trying to get a straight answer as to why they were not taking the money out consistently to no avail. At first the father decided he would just send the money directly to the mother to make up the difference of what the CSA was not deducting. Bad Idea. they eventually discovered he was $10,000 behind in childsupport, and this was effecting his job. Some countries will not give you admittence if you are behind on child support.

The mother dropped the case, it was the only way to bring the balance to zero.

ChildSupport may help some, but it screws over many more. Child Support is the only debt that lands you in jail. And I promise you a disproportionate amont of black fathers end up incarcerated, over men of other races. And exactly how does it help a father to find and keep a job, if he now has a prison record??? And let's face it with Jobs being sent ove seas, and all that's left are the low wage non union jobs, it seems like they are purposely creating a no win situation where a father will end up in jail for non payment. Daddies in Prison can not help their children ever.
