‘Operation Give a Child a Father for Father’s Day’
The article below from the Mobile Register details their local “Operation Give a Child a Father for Father’s Day.” Foolish me—when I first heard of this I thought it might be an effort to enforce fathers’ visitation rights or custody rights, or perhaps an attempt to stand up to mothers’ attempts to alienate their children from their fathers. Or maybe they were going to take some kids whose mommies had lied to them and told them that their fathers had abandoned them and arrange a meeting between them and the loving fathers who’d been locked out of their lives.
Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Father’s Day target: Deadbeat dads: Ten arrests made in Baldwin County, and more are promised
Saturday, June 16, 2007
By Virginia Bridges
Just days away from Father’s Day, a Baldwin County deputy walked into a Magnolia Springs bar and arrested a man accused of owing nearly $129,000 in child support.
The Summerdale father of two, Arthuro De La Garza, 46, was one of 10 men the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office arrested since late last week as part of “Operation Give a Child a Father for Father’s Day.” The men were charged with civil contempt of court for failing to pay between $2,347 and $128,553 in child support, according to court documents and law enforcement officials.
The arrests were part of a joint initiative between the Baldwin County District Attorney’s and Sheriff’s Office to encourage parents — the vast majority of them fathers — to fulfill their child support obligations.
“This roundup is about parents who choose pleasure over the needs of their children,” said District Attorney Judy Newcomb at a Friday press conference. “I would like to say to all those parents: ‘If you are not right with child support in Baldwin County, you need to get right before a sheriff’s deputy arrests you.’”
Over the past month, the District Attorney’s Child Support Division has identified more than 50 cases in which parents are more than $5,000 in arrears, Newcomb said.
“More arrests are imminent,” Baldwin County Sheriff Huey “Hoss” Mack Jr. said.

Seems the celebration of Father’s Day by media coverage of the local Gestapo sting operation on Deadbeat Dads is a national pastime. A similar media blitz coverage occurred in Kansas City. The local Fox station reports: “Prosecutors and police are making sure deadbeat dads spend Father’s Day behind bars. In a week-long sting, officers picked up 59 dads AND FOUR MOMS on outstanding warrants.”
Isn’t it time someone raise the gender issue when referring to four moms as deadbeat DADS?

Why does this not surprize me. As long as we tolerate the extortion racket that is child support this will continue and it has nothing to do with the ” best interest of children” but rather the ” best interest” of the terrorist who run this God Awful racket. It is the thieve who run the system who belong in jail, infact they need to be brought up on charges of high treason, and we all know what the penalty for that Is!
In simple terms all the ” governments in power” are bankrupt they need every dollar they can beg, borrow or steal to keep the international bankers from foreclosing on them. The so called “dead beat fathers” are a favorite target. You notice how they never seem to come down hard on women? Well the answer is simple, it is the socially. legally and morally irresponsible behavior of women that feeds their little racket.. If they started holding women accountable and started enforcing mens rights to be fathers and to be head of their households, then the little racket would fall apart and the bastards would be running for their lives.
Take heart , these bastards days are NUMBERED, the system they leach off of is dying and will soon fall apart. Soon , good men( with guns) will remove whats left of the racket and women are going to get the bad news” It is time to growup socially. legally and morally, we won’t tolerate your selfish rottent behavior anymore. a further warning to the terrorist who run the system , remember that” penalty I spoke of” well it will be carried out and you will go out like a little baby, kicking , screaming and crying. Because they will know that once we put them to death, then God Allmighty will be judge them and it won’t be pretty. ( burning in hell for enternity will be beyond horrible) but they will deserve it and it will serve as strong deterent to any future terrorist

I can see it now , now geek bastard , down on his knees saying ” yes Lord, now I see, it was wrong and I deserve to be punished this way” But God will say sorry charlie I made my commandments very clear and YOU ignored them! I always picture God as a Jack Nicholson type character, decent but tough! And when he wants someone to suffer , just as nasty.
