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 It's Child Support Guidelines that Need Surgery, Not 'Deadbeat Dads' (Cincinnati Post, Kentucky Post, 5/12/04),   New Study Shows Child Support Guidelines in Need of Reform (Daily Breeze [Los Angeles], 6/20/04) and Divorced from Reality on Child Support (Newark Star-Ledger, 9/6/02)

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 Internet stream at Listen Live.

You can call the show and join the discussion in progress at 1-800-439-4805 (lines open this Sunday from 5-6 PM PST).
