anybody who has the patience should read this entire message
Below is an article that appeared recently in mensnewsdaily.com. It
is tragic that so many men are committing suicide due to the gross injustice they face in family court. In truth, most of the cases go completely unnoticed. They are simply suicides. When investigated, there is often only a single line that may say something like, "he was despondent over his impending or recent divorce". The only possiblility for widespread reform to be successful will be increasing numbers of NCPs who simply don't put up with the system anymore. Some time ago we advocated the slogan, "Don't Pay the D.A." It never got very far as most parents, especially fathers, have internalized and totally accepted the line from the advocates for child support, and their governmental cohorts, that child support, as it is defined by current law, has its roots in a long history of law and social policy. According to these people, child support, or more properly, the institution of child support, is a duty that has a long history. This is simply not true. Child support as we know it, basically an entitlement program for single mothers, was largely invented quite recently, as late as the mid 1980s. The process whereby the courts can steal your child from you, and then force you to pay for the privilege of having the very person who destroyed your family raise the child, while creating further estrangement between you and your own child is unprecedented in all of human history. Years ago, John Smith and I created some pages on civil disobedience. We never advertised them. We made them look unprofessional and hoky, sort of "tongue in cheek". My ex-wife made quite an issue of these pages in my own divorce, to the amusement of the judge. I explained that the pages were , to borrow a phrase from Rush Limbaugh, "illustrating absurdity with absurdity." After reading the article below, I revisited one of the pages I just mentioned: http://ancpr.org/rad_jail.htm. The page is called "Jams the Jails". I encourage all of you to make a visit to the page after reading the article below. The tragic cases described in the article below happened because these fathers felt so much shame and dejection that they killed themselves. What if they instead saw the injustice they faced as an opportunity to make a stand? What if they were willing to go to jail, considering such an eventuality a badge of honor? Men need to stand up and be men. Real men don't bow to pressure from idiots and thugs. Real men fight back with whatever weapons are at hand. About the only weapon we have is to jam the jails. All the states are reeling in red ink right now. In New Hampshire, they are suspending all jury trials for a month to save money. The judiciary is getting so broke that the court rooms are almost at a standstill. California is laying off child support collection personnel. There are millions of parents who are under the tyranny of a child support order. What if only 10% of them simply said "No!" What would they do? Put as many as 300,000 additional people in jail? Would they release murders and rapists and child molesters to make room? How could they justify building ever more prisons to house all these people when they can't even fix their roads? Think about it. Wishing you all the best, Lowell Jaks, ANCPR http://ancpr.org CHILD SUPPORT CASUALTIES Ed Ward, MD July 27, 2003 http://mensnewsdaily.com/archive/w/w...ward072703.htm Randy Orville Brouse, 33, of Illinois, when jailed for felony failure to pay child support, hung himself on July 21, 2003. Prior to his death, he was one of 50 Hillsdale County's "Most Wanted". All are alleged to be dangerous and wanted "for serious and often violent crimes". In fact, more than 60% are wanted only for failure to pay child support. The Hillsdale's dangerous, "Most Wanted" list of those unable to pay the court ordered amount of child support consists of 32 people of the 51 Most Wanted. Randy is still on the list. How many of these dangerous felons will take Randy's place on the Hillsdale mortuary slab before these atrocities end? According to the unConstitutional family court's rulings, that made the "Most Wanted" financially responsible for amounts they are unable to pay and visitors to their children, the public is to believe these 32 parents would rather, have their driver's license revoked, lose their voting rights, lose access to firearms for defense of home and self-protection, lose their job and ability to find a job, be incarcerated and even to be forced to the point of taking their own lives, than pay money to support their children. The problem is, even after their children have been stolen from them, most have paid all they can and are NOT ABLE to pay anymore. Trevor Goddard, 37, of North Hollywood, California, committed suicide on June 8, 2003. Goddard was at the height of his career. His credits include, Mortal Kombat, Men of War, JAG, Deep Rising, Gone in 60 Seconds, and the recently released, Pirates of the Caribbean. Few know that Trevor was in the middle of a divorce and finding out just what that means to a loving father. There were many articles on his death, but, only one mentioned his pending divorce. Unknown man, unknown age, of Kendallville, Indiana, committed possible suicide in the only article released on his death. There was no response, the typical media response, to the email sent by his close friend to the 22 email addresses at kpc news. When this article is pubished, the author will send them the address of this article, the name of the unknown man, the link to their story, the link to the email to them, ask them their secrets to sound sleep and ask them, again, to do a follow-up story on James Betzner. They must have some great remedies to sleep after ignoring the email sent to them and still not publishing another story. Will those remedies work for the next unknown man article? Robert R Steadman, 33, of Sewickley Township, Pennsylvania, hung himself in April, 2003 during his second imprisonment for failure to pay child support. Since Robert was only one sentence of the story dealing with suicide watch policy changing for that prison, it is unknown if this second jailing was a 90 day recycle. The recycle is a jail term of 90 days. After 90 days, the prisoner is released, only to be greeted by another incarceration for failure to pay child support for 90 days and the cycle is continued. Reinaldo Rivera, 25, of New Jersey was jailed for failure to pay child support. He hung himself with a sheet after one week in jail in April, 2003. Mark Edward Dexel, 42, of Canada hung himself on January, 23, 2003 in a Kamloops motel after he was banned from seeing his son by the Canadian family courts. Derrick K. Miller, 43, of San Diego, California, walked up the steps courthouse steps to the San Diego family court's security guard on January 7, 2002. Miller had recently been judged to pay support he obviously did not have. While holding his divorce papers in one hand and pulling a pistol in the other, he told the guard, "You did this to me!". Derrick quickly pulled the trigger, on the only option left to him and many other fathers, that sent a bullet through his head and died. Carl Tarzwell, Jr., 37, was arrested on June 20, 2001, for failing to pay child support. Carl hung himself within a few hours of being jailed. Carl's death was revealed in a November, 2001, article dealing with excessive suicides in prison. James Gunter, 45, an emergency services police officer, described as "one of those steely, go-to guys, a natural in a crisis", took his life on the third try while incarcerated for the third time. James was arrested for failing to pay child support and failing to stay away from his ex-wife. Gunter's daughter stated, "He couldn't stand to be away from his kids,". James Gunter found peace on September 15, 2000. It was not until March 24, 2002 that Jame's story became noted by the press in a story about jails being at fault for lack of care in suicides. Randy Johnson, 34, of Sommerset, Kentucky hung himself on the second day of his incarceration for felony failure to pay child support in January, 2001. He could have been sentenced to 5 years. Johnson worked for the Sugar Shack making donuts. His employer said he was trying to lead a new life. Johnson's story is revealed in an article about suicides in Boyle County prison. Darren Bruce White, 34, of B.C., Canada, killed himself sometime between March 12, 2000 and March 17, 2000, when his body was found. Darren's suicide came shortly after a court ruling he was capable, something US family courts are also known to do as attested by the author in his personal experience, of paying $2,071 a month in support. The court had no concern that he was paying $439 a month support in his first marriage and was only making $950 a month salary. White's daughter, Ashlee, expresses her grief regarding the current system. Dimitrius Underwood, 22, the defensive end for the Miami Dolphins, slashed his throat with a kitchen knife when the Lansing police tried to arrest him for failing to pay child support. Dimitrius's story, due to his notoriety, was published quickly on September 28, 1999. But, as usual, the article only dealt with the effect and not the cause. David Guinn, 38, incarcerated for probation violations and was behind on his child support, hung himself on November, 1998. James A. Poore, 33, of Bristol, Tennessee, arrested for failing to appear at a child custody hearing, found a shotgun while on a work release program and promptly blew a hole in his chest in March, 1999. Sheriff Eddie Barnes stated it would not stop the work release program. Kenneth Taylor, 40, of Nebraska, hung himself while jailed for felony child support in November, 1999. Every year 24,000 men commit suicide. Every 22 minutes one male commits suicide. Based on the fact that a divorced male is 2.5 to 3 times more likely to commit suicide than the average male, the estimate for divorced men, most likely fathers since there is tremendously more trauma placed on them, committing suicide every year would be 15,000 to 18,000 men. When will it stop? How will it stop? Where is the men's backlash? Many splintered equal parenting groups are asking the same questions. One small group of 13 fathers, Hunger Strike for Justice, has pledged to start a hunger strike on September 25, 2003 in an effort to break the media blockade and the lack of government address of family, children and individual rights. Their determination, resolve and effectiveness is yet to be tested, but, they have had enough of injustice. Felons can't vote. The dead can't demonstrate. Men running from incarceration can't take legal remedies. Jail severely limits protesting and information dissemination. Those that are stretched to their limit have neither the effort, nor the time to do very much, except to be with their children when they can, if they can. Many that would fight this deadly system see no hope and have been crushed, emotionally, financially and spiritually. Many are afraid they will lose the little access they have to their children if they make waves. Media ignores the problems being caused and promotes the deadbeat bandwagon. The government does the same, while spending billions more than they collect in the child support scam and even more billions for those incarcerated. That just does not leave many left to be activists. It is estimated that the total national number of incarcerated fathers for failure to pay child support is 250,000. Some believe the number is closer to 400,000. According to the Missouri legislative report, in 1998 there were 1,770 misdemeanor failure jailings and 900 felony jailings. Every year, there has been more and more hysteria to lock up "deadbeats" by the states. The author has seen similarly populated states in the 4,000 range in years 2000 and 2001. It's not hard to see those numbers could very well be true _______________________________________________ Ancpr-newsletter mailing list http://unix1.aismedia |

It was once thought that 'felony' was an extremely serious crime. Reserved for extremely serious situations such as child molestation, murder, rape, robbery, etc.. dangerous deviants of society. Now, a person is unable to pay child support and he becomes a serious felon and is treated as a murderer and rapist. People of low IQ say "they deserve it, those poor children". Of course, such people do not know history. Label the individuals "Jew, ******, deadbeat, communist, gay, Catholic, whatever". Make them out to be evil, then take their rights away. "First the Nazis went after the Jews, but I wasn't a Jew so I didn't react. Then they went after the Catholics, but I wasn't a Catholic, so I did not object. Then they went after the worker, but I wasn't a worker, so I didn't stand up. And then they went after the me, and by then It was too late for anybody to stand up." I truly am ashamed to be classified as an American when Americans not only refuse to stand up against such injustice, but actually support it. |
