Another Draconian Child Support Case
July 14, 2008

First an excerpt from the article, then a few comments. From Man returning
to city for mother's funeral arrested on child support charges (Portage
Daily Register, 7/12/08):

A former Pardeeville man wanted for five years for failing to pay more
than $12,000 in child support was picked up by authorities Thursday after he
returned to Portage for his mother's funeral.

Todd W. Bubolz, 42, of Brownsville, Texas, remains in jail on $2,500 cash
bail after he was arrested at a restaurant Thursday evening. He was in town
for the funeral of his mother, Karen Bubolz of Portage, who died Tuesday.

An arrest warrant for Bubolz was issued in March 2003 after five counts of
failure to pay child support were charged against him, but the Columbia
County Child Support Agency could not locate him for more than five years.

Bubolz was ordered in April 2001 to pay $152 per week in support for his
four children, according to a criminal complaint. The Columbia County Child
Support Agency received no payments from Bubolz between May 2001 and
December 2002, the complaint stated.

Bubolz owes about $12,920 in payments. If found guilty of all charges, he
faces up to 50 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.

Paying $600 a month to support for children doesn't seem like much, and I
would imagine that he probably could have paid it if he wanted to. This is
not always the case, of course. As always, the article tells us nothing
about what else might have happened in this case -- what reason or excuse
the father may have for nonpayment, whether his custody rights were
respected, etc.

We don't know if the father had an injury or an illness, or has mental
problems, or God knows what. Maybe he really did take off one day and leave
the wife and children who loved him in the lurch purely out of selfishness.
It happens, but that's not usually the case.

But what really strikes me is this -- he faces up to 50 years in prison.
50. That is outrageous -- murderers don't even get that much sometimes.
Hell, for the lousy $13,000 he owes he could have robbed a Brink's armored
truck, stolen that much and more, shot and wounded a security guard, and he
still might not have been facing 50 years.

I haven't studied the issue, but it seems as if these draconian sentences
(or possible sentences) are becoming more and more common.

Unbelievable, if it hadn't come from Sacks, or I'd have seen it posted for
myself, I'd have thought it was just another rant from the wingnuts. But
apparently, it's true, this guy could very well get 50 years in jail and
fines in excess of TWENTY TIMES what he owes in C$!!!

But it's for the children, so it's OK.

I have no problem believing it, this is AmeriKa comrade! LOL

So once again the poor tax payers are left paying the costs of the idiots
that thought this was a good idea.
What has it solved?

Seems the filthy fat pig bankers get bailed out for their greed!

It's just a matter of time before this country implodes and then how will
men be expected to pay their C$.
Is everyone going to prison for 50 years? LOLOLOLOLOL

Never ceases to amaze me. "Child support" is the ONLY debt that is criminal
to not pay it. Go figure.........
