#1: Females are ordered to pay child support.
#2: Since you call them "deadbeat" ... then use Webster's #1 definition.

No, no, no, you shouldn't highlights half my statement to try and make a point. The part about "with marginal income" is kind of important to the point I was making. If you want to make a different point go ahead, but please don't attribute it to me.
It is reported that the reason why Scott had a warrant is because he failed to show up for Court. He apparently knew (or thought he had a warrant), which is why he ran. You want to "argue" the "system" and not hold Scott responsible for being RESPONSIBLE. As was reported he said, he had the best job of his life and wasn't paying child support like he was ordered to pay.
where did I say that he wasn't responsible. I specifically said the opposite.
"2) an arrest warrant does not give the offender the right to run away from LE with impunity. "
You also have to admit that the failure to show up for court was a direct result of him missing child support payments, which was a direct result of him being in jail for missing child support payments so there is a downward spiral.
While I agree with you that child support is not debt, sending someone with marginal income to jail for failing to do so is not an effective solution.
So you want to shift the responsible of not only raising kids to the mother, but also supporting them 100%....90%?......85%?......75 %? ... how much?
where did I say that?
Because Daddy doesn't want to support them?
what does this has anything to do with what I said
As the line on this board is often repeated: YOU PLAY, YOU PAY.
Your "plan"..????
"get the government out of our personal life, bedroom, Dr. Office, education, and pocket book (including welfare to individuals)".....
Who is going to support the kids? If Daddy can't get a job, you think Mom can?
so are you recommending pure communism (to each according to thier needs from each according to thier abilities)?
Sending someone to jail for failing to provide to thier kids when they have marginal income is NOT working (in practice or in theory). BTW, if you believe in this so much why not implement this for married Couples, or are you saying that as long as there is a marriage it is OK if the kids don't get thier share. More so, even in case when there is child support and it is paid, there is NOTHING to enforce or even require that the money will go towards the child welfare.
I have stated before, the intent is noble, the implementation is where it fails and if you let the government do it, this is the only outcome you can expect.
