Check out these statistics and engage in a bit of introspection. And as you do, think about the government policies that have enabled such a dastardly and irresponsible culture within our own borders. When the government has got your back, why should you own up to your responsibilities?

The revolving door spins and spins and spins. And the children who are flung out the other side are likely to be as bad, or worse. Its absolutely disgusting what this nation of deadbeats has become.

That website has an agenda. I'm surprised you would even use it TBH. All the stats given were demonstrating why it is important to have a father involved and then blamed that on child support. Yet, at the same time they report that only 7% do not receive child support because of a "deadbeat dad".

Oh noes!!! 7% of custodial moms don't receive child support! Quick call the marshalls.

Nashville Father With 22 Children By 14 Women, Sued For Unpaid Child Support

Orlando Shaw said he loves all of his kids and considers himself a good father -- it's just that he can't afford to pay child support.

The family court system in this country desperately needs someone to hit the reset button and start fresh. In its current form, it forces a large number of men into involuntary servitude.

Percentages are a funny thing. If there are 1 million custodial single moms, 7% is 70,000 moms, if you average 2 kids per mom, that's 140,000 kids.

Not so , when you think about it in real numbers.

As a dad who raised 2 wonderful kids as a single/divorced dad who had custody and a deadbeat mom, who either required a court order to pay, a threat of jail time, and for almost 10 years, say the kids a total of 7 times, I can state, i know just how those women felt.

Do they believe in skipping out on your kids and not providing for them financially?

Or is that just a tea party thing?
