More "Deadbeat Dad"
Lunacy
Many times
on the show I have read from
the "Top 10 Most Wanted
Child Support Evaders"
lists put out by various states.
As I've pointed out many times,
the lists are usually full
of unskilled laborers who
owe fantastic sums of money
they could never hope to pay
off. Virginia's
new list has just been
announced. Of the 11 so-called
"deadbeats" on there,
only one--an electrician--has
a real job skill or marketable
talent. Yet in the article
Virginia announces 'Most Wanted'
child support evaders
the Bristol Herald-Courier
comments with a straight face
that a laborer "owes"
$103,094, a carnival worker
"owes" $59,337,
and a construction worker
"owes" $91,000.
In most of these cases "deadbeat
dads" are being manufactured
by the family court system
and the child support bureaucracy.
To hear me
comment on a particularly
egregious case, listen to
my three minute radio commentary
on the
Francis Borgia child support
case. To learn more about
the issue, see my co-authored
columns

that Need Surgery, Not

Post, Kentucky Post, 5/12/04),

Guidelines in Need of Reform

Denver Publication Asks Sackson
Horde for Peace
After receiving
another bombardment of letters
after my May 29 broadcast,
Patricia Calhoun the beleaguered
editor of the publication
Denver Westword, has apparently
had enough.
Calhoun wrote in their
latest edition "Okay,
that's it. Since Jason Heller
wrote his 260-word piece on
Todd Goldman, the author of
Boys Are Stupid, Throw Rocks
at Them, who was coming to
town for a May 13 book signing,
Westword has been flooded
with dozens of e-mails from
around the country..."

California Military Parents
Bill Passes Senate
SB 1082, the military
parents' bill, just passed
the California Senate unanimously.
The bill will help protect
the custody and visitation
rights of parents who are
called up to active duty,
and also help with the bureaucratic
child support nightmare faced
by many deployed reservists.
In April the Sackson Horde
helped jolt SB 1082 out of
the California Senate Judiciary
Committee. Thanks to all of
you who supported our campaign,
and special thanks to lobbyist
Mike Robinson for his great
work. I often receive letters
from servicemen in Iraq and
Afghanistan who are struggling
with custody and child support
issues.

Bridges:
Reuniting Daughters &
Daddies
It
has been said that a man never
knows what love is until he
has a daughter. Of all the
bonds between family members,
those between fathers and
daughters are often the closest.
At the same time, they can
also be the most tenuous.
In
her book
Whatever Happened to Daddy's
Little Girl? Jonetta Rose
Barras asserts that many women
suffer from what she calls
"Fatherless Woman Syndrome,"
and that it often stays with
women their whole lives. She
believes that while the effect
of fatherlessness on boys
receives more attention, fatherlessness
has a devastating impact on
girls, too.
In
her newly released book
Bridges: Reuniting Daughters
& Daddies, Barras
uses illustrations pulled
from the lives of real women
and their fathers to help
point the way to reconciliation
between fathers and their
daughters.
Barras
will join Glenn on
His Side with Glenn Sacks
on Sunday, June 12 at 5 PM
PST/8 PM EST. For those
who are outside of our radio
stations' coverage ranges,
you can listen to the show
live via our station's excellent
