New Take on Deadbeat Dads

[TexKan]

You mean if you call the PD ahead of time (like mid week) and tell them you need assist for pick up - they refuse???? They can't get you an officer assist given 3 days notice?

That is truely sad - I rode with my DIL (cause i can't do ride along with "blood" so my son is out.)...... I went with her to an assist. She says they do it all the time. I thought it was routine - for her it is. She doesn't get out - only if the child is denied............

Just a sad thing........ would be less violence probably if your PD did

[K C Muffin]

I dunno, Texie - I think the violence stems more from total frustration than anything - and I also think it would happen with the policemen right there in their car. Parents just lose their heads when their children are involved. Hubby's a prime example. His ex denied his visitation when we went to pick up his son once. I honestly think that if I hadn't been there to yank his arm and get him outttathere, something bad might have happened. A few years and a lot of water's run under that bridge, thank goodness, and she hasn't pulled it since. But I'll never forget the man I've known to be very rational was turned into a pile of emotional wreckage on the spot just because she wouldn't let him see his son for his appointed weekend.

You almost sounded like a conservative there for a minute....Taking responsibility.....Figured you would rather let a village raise the kid. If the mother didn't get child support she could possibly sign up for various gov't programs and then vote democrat each election.

I agree with you though. If they guy made the kid he needs to take responsibility and pay for the kid.
