See at beginning and at the bottom of that story it says the story comes from the Associated Press (AP), so the heading calling parents as "deadbeats" is only coming from the WTOP news and not the AP report itself. On the first line they call the parents "scofflaw" and not deadbeat.RoseRed said:
Bill Clinton calls people like you "Deadbeats." He said that when he was President, not a member of the press. Once again, you are worng.JPC sr said:This is because the slander of "deadbeat" is pushed by that media and not by the police. The slander has been officially stopped but it goes on in public discourse because slander is hard to die.

Sounds as if the term "deadbeat" fits well.
That might be, but "scofflaw" is a total different meaning.kwillia said:He can prefer one over the other all he wants, both look to mean the same to me...:shrug:
I think it can be unreasonable, but if the two adults in the situation can not be selfish and work things out between them, the legal system does not impose itself. The problem is the adults are usually too angry at each other and want to hurt the other person anyway they can regardless of what harm it causes the children.Dougstermd said:OK lets assume JPC is as stupid as everyone here thinks he is.
Now is there anyone here that thinks the Childsupport system is totally outa touch with reality:shrug:

Well, my wallet stayed pretty flat while I paid child support, but my ex and I worked things out together. I didn't make much when we split. As I started earning more, I gave her more voluntarily. I wanted my kid to have what I could provide.Dougstermd said:I wish I could say I was a scofflaw.
But I am just a broke MFer.
