dead beat dads
A dead beat dad should be penalized for not taking care of their child by providing financial support. Dead beat dads should serve jail time; attend an educational program, and show these men the circumstances that they have forced their child and mother to live in. In most homes children are born out of wedlock. Even though a child is born out of wedlock, it is still both parents responsibility to contribute to the child needs. Unfortunately, its easier said than done because this is not happening much in today’s world. A deadbeat dad isn’t just someone who doesn’t pay child support. A deadbeat dad is also a man that is mostly never around his kids, break promises that he makes to his kids, and doesn’t help contribute to his kids house hold by taking care of home finically. The term “deadbeat dad” came from child support agencies that used the term to identify men who had fathered a child and choose not to pay child support ordered by a family court of law. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, "Children who have fathers in their lives learn better, have higher self-esteem and show fewer signs of depression than children without fathers". Dead beat dads are a menace to our society.

First and foremost the police needs to arrest these dead beat dads in put them in jail. They should go to jail if there child support payment is 3 weeks or more late. 3 weeks is enough time so that the child want have to suffer no longer than they should. The place of arrest should be at their job or hang out area. What an awesome way to put these men down just like they done to their child. By doing this it will show these men that their behavior is not acceptable. A father’s decision to leave their household and not help support his family can cause a lot of unnecessary conflict in the family. It is easy for a man and a woman to make a baby in the heat in the moment. However, in most cases the father decides he doesn’t want anything to do with the mother or

    “For every 100 rapists, only three will go to jail, and even then they can get out early for good behavior. Even though more people are reporting rape cases, there is still 54% of victims who won’t report a crime” (RAINN of Justice Department Data). Rape is any sexual contact for which someone doesn’t give permission. Today’s society is helping the rapist by victimizing the victim even more. By making a mockery of it, or by entertaining the thought of letting the rapist go free with just a slap on the wrist. As a result, society has started to excuse rapist by giving custody of the child, not taking the allegations seriously, and by trying to silence the victim and the people who knew something about it.…

    Given the primarily Hispanic community here in El Paso, domestic violence is more prevalent and getting out of these abusive relationships is often more difficult because of the cultural values. I would like to urge you to consider the children that are caught in between. Currently there is only “In the best Interest of the child” clause, but even then, women of domestic violence are placed in a dangerous situation of sharing custody with their abuser. While I am not advocating for totally cutting a father out of the picture, I do believe preventive measures need to be put in place to ensure that these kids do not suffer more than they already have.…

    Fathers are often left out of research, as society focuses mainly on mothers and their roles in the parent-child relationship. If research is done, the research surrounds fathers who belong to the middle- and upper-class. The article entitled “Father Involvement in Urban Low-Income Fathers: Baseline Associations and Changes Resulting From Preventive Intervention” examines father involvement among ethnically diverse, low-income fathers. The goals of the research consist of filling the gaps of the literature, by studying a different population, and evaluating if whether attendance of workshops that concentrate on communication, coping, and parenting skills within this population will affect the ways in which fathers contribute to rearing children (Reinks et al., 2011).…

    Unfortunately a lot of young boys are misguided without positive men role models in their lives. There are some men that desire to be involved in their children lives but some mothers work hard at making that impossible. If a man isn’t abusing his children or misguiding them then there is absolutely no reason for any mother to deny the father his right to be there for his children. Any woman who does this is selfish and clearly doesn’t see the value a father adds to his children. As much as I love sports and outdoor activities, I would rather my son’s father or a positive male role model throwing a football with my son, taking him fishing or camping, and talking to him about puberty. I understand single moms have to do what they have to do and many of them do an excellent job of raising young men with the help of coaches, mentors, or other male role models. With the high percentage of black men being incarcerated or killed there is certainly a shortage of father figures so I would encourage uncles, grandfathers, or church leaders to take some of the fatherless boys under their wing and mentor…

    It takes two people to have a child, and when the relationship between the parents does not work, is when child support comes in. Child support is supposed to be money to help support the child. When the parent ordered to pay, or the non-custodial parent, does not pay, it only punishes the child. This is making it harder for the one raising the child, or the custodial parent. When the non-custodial parent falls behind on payments, there are supposed to be consequences. Well, that is not happening. I know several people, including myself, who do not receive a dime in child support and the other parent is walking around free from punishment. The law needs to be enforced, so that the children can have the money that they deserve. This will also keep the custodial parent from struggling to not only provide the necessities, but to also fulfill the desires of the child. Harsher enforcement measures will reduce the number of non-payers.…

    I can understand why people feel that the custodial parent should receive the full child support payment. The state system was designed those who are in need of assistance. If a parent was/is receiving benefits and start to receive child support, the state should recoup their money. If people would like to continue to have a program the offers assistance, measures such as these (repaying the state through child support) must remain in…

    The current welfare program: Temporary Aid to Needy Families, requires custodial parents applying for benefits to help the government to establish the obligations of paying child support against the parents that are absent, to eventually sue them, and to simultaneously give the government the right to collect those funds from the non-custodial parent, following the regulations. This system of welfare cost recovery is a side of child support that is largely unknown to the public (Ronald B. Mincy). People can easily see that when a trucker’s license is suspended, he cannot work; when a laborer’s wages are garnished at sixty-five percent, he cannot afford to pay his own rent. In a further development, Ronald states that fathers could obtain a new job and then lose it after being incarcerated for contempt because of his child support arrearages, and the relationships between the mothers and fathers, fragile at their beginnings, can be obliterated through the process. As clear as the child support issues could be, the hopes of children to have fathers who are supportive and involved in their lives are often dissolved. A real and deep work needs to be done so that the system stop harming children, fathers, mothers, as well as the government.…

    Dead White Males is an Australian play written by David Williamson. Throughout the play, the two ideologies Liberal Humanism and Post Structuralism are represented and hotly debated. The debate of these two ideologies had been the cause of many conflicts and drama from the beginning to the end of the play, and characters Dr Grant Swain and Shakes were the main characters behind this turmoil. Swain believes in the ideology Post Structuralism, and he is a university literary professor that abuses his potion by taking advantage of his power and forcing his views on his students. Shakes is a representation as Shakespeare and he believes in the ideology Liberal Humanism, he also appears in the imagination of Angela Judd who is one of Swain’s pupils. These two key characters are essential for the dramatic development of the play. They create a representation of the hero and the villain in the play, and entertain the audience with their views as they are theories that are applied to real life experiences.…

    Stated by the US Census Bureau, in the year 2002, around 13.4 million parents had custody of 21.5 million children under the age of 21 year and in a separate living space as the other parent. Additionally, the Census declared that around 84.4 percent of custodial parents were mothers and 15.6 percent were fathers. That means five of every six custodial parents were mothers. These proportions have been statistically unchanged since 1994. Fathers are being treated as if their worth is just the same as a…
