Quote From: bookjunkie85How can these actions be ok and not go unpunished? A woman who would do that should be held accountable for something. yes granted that man should not have gone about things in the way that he did, and that poor child should not have had to go through that. however it is not ok that Gloria (the attorney) did not address that at all. it was as if once she thought that she was loosing in the eyes of the audience she decided to change the subject to something that did not concern this issue. yes many men do not pay their child support, but that has NOTHING to do with this family.
It's a well known fact that most Non-costodial parents pay their support and that in most cases those who don't cannot afford to pay it.
The mother is the only wrong doer in this. She robbed that child of a relationship with her father (you only have one father) and robbed that father of having a relationship with his child. She made him think he had a child (he may have otherwise wanted to have a child of his own). If he wants to voluntarily help support this child and continue to have a relationship with her it should NOT be forced. I firmly believe that victoms of this type of fraud should not be forced into that support System period. They should always be allowed to voluntarily help support a child they care about, and not give up the right to contribute financially in the way they see fit.
