Article From Barbara Kasey Smith’s Corner Of The World
There are a lot of women/men in our society today who deal with “a deadbeat parent” who does not want to pay alimony and child support. One or the other parent may not have an education or a trade to properly support their family and it is impossible for them to support their family without financial support. It is sad how many people are left in a devastating situation and they do not know who or where to turn to get help and to keep their children fed and a roof over their head. A man/woman will end up having to rely on the government to provide food stamps, housing, and medical care for their children and themselves.
Authorities take the deadbeat parent to court repeatedly and the judge orders them to pay child support and alimony but the deadbeat flees the area to hide-out somewhere in the states or outside of the states to avoid paying support. It is my opinion a deadbeat parent is cheating the government out of money every day to support his/her family while they run free. It is my belief that a deadbeat should be hunted down like any other criminal and taken to jail and sentenced to work and the money should be turned over to their spouse to help support their family.
It’s my belief that “no-one” person who has a child or children should be allowed to walk free and without supporting their family and every necessary action should be taken to see that children are properly supported by their families. There is many a parent who has been left with a house full of children to take care of and to support and their spouse is not paying a cent toward their support. Some mothers/fathers are left to try and make a living for their families by themselves and some of them work two jobs to make a living for them.
They struggle and suffer the consequences of raising their children with baby sitters and many times the sitters are people who resent having to take care of the children and they are abused mentally and often physically too. I believe this is one of the main problems in our society because these children are raised up with resentments for the way they were raised and how they were mistreated. Their parent did the best they could to raise them properly but the children missed out on the leadership of a parent because they worked two jobs and they could focus on their children’s needs and love.
These children mature to adulthood and bring a lot of hate and anger to our society and some of them end up with tragic consequences in their lives. Often when this happens, society will say, “It’s because they were not raised properly.” No-one said, “A parent without any support whatsoever raised these children while working twelve to fourteen hours a day.”
Many of these deadbeat people are living elsewhere and have one or two children they’re not supporting either. This is a travesty and these deadbeats need to be stopped. They’re part of what is damaging our society and they need to be stopped before they do more damage. I believe we need tougher laws established to hunt these deadbeats down and force them to care for their children. I have “no” mercy for a person who leaves their family in this type of a situation. If they don’t work, make them work and support their children.
