I May be Going to Debtor's Prison

131. Collective punishment is wrong. And laws should not be written based on what 'some people did'

And what is better for a child? To know your father is a convict, or to have a mother who decides not to put them in that position, IF she does not need to. But that would take someone with compassion and real concerns for their children.

Money is not everything and many families have survived without throwing their fathers in jail by simply moving on and dealing with their situations in a positive way. Teaching children to be vindictive harms them. And it happens often in these situations.

How is sending the father to jail going to provide money for the children anyhow? And how is he supposed to get a job after he has spent time in jail?

This country is badly in need of huge reforms when it comes to humane treatment of its citizens especially its children.

These laws have destroyed families. When the cure is worse than the desease, it's time to find a different cure. The father, eg, could be suffering from a mental illness that has not been treated. I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case, as it is in many of these situations.

But one thing is for sure, having a father with a prison record, does not benefit children in any way and many mothers refuse to do this for that very reason. They put their children first.
