Man Committed Suicide In McHenry Jail Cell over Child Support Payments

18. Sad thing is, this isn't the first...nor likely the last.

Sometimes I wonder if the judge is just being vindictive for a bad experience they had.

Some years ago, I watched a show on something very similar. Both the father and mother came to terms on child support. But the judge over ruled it and stated the father had to pay more. He told her that he's never made that kind of money to which she responded, "that's your problem". This was even after the pleas from the mother who said the arrangement was not only fair, but actually generous given his means. Long story short, he lost his business and the kids essentially got nothing.

Another example, buddy of mine got pulled over for speeding. Nothing major, but figured he get the ticket, slow down and pay it later. But for whatever reason the officer was just being a first class asshole. So he told him "hey, whatever happened at home, happened there. Don't take it out on me or everyone else on the road". The officer told him, yeah your right, slow down and go on your way.
