‘I do not agree with your premise in the protest of Fox’s show ‘Bad Dads’
Below is a letter from Bruce, who does not agree with our campaign against Fox’s new reality show Bad Dads. Like many people, he has been misled by the media onslaught about “deadbeat dads.”
Mr. Sacks,
As a non-custodial father, I have maintained a good payment record of child support, and make those payments a priority. I do not agree with your premise in the protest of Fox’s show Bad Dads.
Â
There are huge numbers of non-custodial fathers who simply walk away from any and all responsibility for their children. This show will attempt to find those selfish , narcissistic scoundrels, who never seem to be lacking for beer, cigarettes, cable TV, trips to Vegas, nice cars, dating expenses, clothes, etc., but are “unable” to meet court requirements to financially support their children.
Â
I can appreciate men having an advocate, but your position doesn’t pass the smell test, in my opinion.
Sincerely,
Bruce

I am so glad to see a responsible man stand up and speak the truth. It seems to me if a man is paying child support, is involved in their children s life and is being the best father they can–why would they not want this show to be aired?
This show is designed to find dad's that aren't paying, it is their own damn fault. The kid didn't ask for a dead beat dad, now did they? What kind of life are these kids going to have if someone doesn't step up to find these guys and make them pay. Obviously, the people complaining about this show hasn't dealt with the Department of Child Support Enforcement.
We need to praise the men that are great fathers, hats off to you!
