Default "dead beat" parent round-up

"AZ Astrea" wrote in message ...
Just heard on the news they pulled another "round-up of dead beat parents"
here in Tucson. They named it "Operation Child-support". Channel 4 news
reported all the standard "politically correct" bull**** and used the term
"dead beat parents". I guess that's more 'correct' than dead beat dads but
no matter what, the reality is that out of the 21 people still sitting in
jail as of this evening, (the "round-up" was at 5am), there is *one* woman.
The token woman.

I'm writing an e-mail to Channel 4 (www.kvoa.com) , hoping to enlighten them
a little as to the reality of dead-broke dads. I can't find the story on
their website yet. They just aired it so maybe it's not on it yet.

With all the talented writers and ranters we have here I'm hoping we can all
send them a bit of enlightening e-mail. Who knows? Maybe somebody will be
listening?

Channel 13 showed a video clip of one deadbeat parent being taken away
in handcuffs. SHE -- a deadbeat MOM -- had a very sour look on her
face.

And then there was the case of a dad who refused to pay child support
because he was not allowed to see his child. He saved the monthly
payments under a “Get Out of Jail” card from a Monopoly
game under the walkway in his front yard.
