Deadbeat to Devoted....

Give me a freakin break..they get rewarded for deciding to be a parent?? What about all the responsible paresnts that when they do have children they grow up and care of them by whatever means possible and not just letting someone else take care of their child because of a poor choice that was made in their lives. I do not like that the state of Missouri is now having a program for "deadbeat" dads-parents at all. The state of Missouri isnt effective in getting child support and they think that this program is going to work? Why doesnt the state just fix the child support problem now instead of bailing out the irresponsible parents?! The state of missouri states that people receiving child support is up by like 10%, is that really that big of improvement??  This program shouldnt be an option..real parents own up to their responsibilites!

  • It was 17 years for me. So,I do know a little about dead beat dad's. But anything anyone is willing to try , seems like an effort in the right direction to me.

  • well putting them in jail really doesnt work i get it. if they arent working then you can get the child suppot that is due. No, I am not a single parent. I thankfully have someone who has been involved and help for the last seven years. But a program to help the dads get it right, just isnt gonna have a succesful rate..in my opinion. It may in the beginning but just wait and see nothing is going to change. there is always going to be deadbeat dads that can never be changed. i just know from my "own" experience that the state of missouri IS NOT effective in demanding child support. i havent received support in 11 years and i know that i probably will never get it. but after all this time the state still cant enforce it? like i said just my opinion.. As far as the programs for single moms, that is needed. Women need all the help they can raising children if they are single without having to relay on another man or their family.

  • Sending them to jail isnt working. So what would your answer be?

  • What about all the programs to help single mothers? Should we just zap them out and say,... well you made poor choices. Live with it?


    There are a LOT of deadbeat dad's out there. Should we just say, well, you made poor choices, so you are going to jail?


    If they arent paying their child support, then they are obviously irresponsible and need help to figure out how to get it right and keep it right. Do you NOT want this so that back child support will go start going away?


    10% may not seem like much, but 1 in 10 that werent taking care of it.. now are. So, time to get the rest.. 10% at a time if we have to.

  • What is the name of this program and what does it do...?


    Remember is Missouri it isnt a liberal state legislature...it is a conservative one, so this program must be about getting the dads not giving the dads money.


    PS: Are you a single mother, wanting daddy's riches to pay for your children?
