One member wrote of his law school days: But that it took a grad lawyer student 3 weeks to find a single case should tell you something about the rate of occurrence. Especially when women are more likely to default on child support than men are. Another lamented: I doubt it. My exwife is $3k in arrears, no justice in sight. Another cited a study: '...women who fail to pay all of their child support are incarcerated only one-eighth as often as men with similar violations.' https://pjmedia.com/drhelen/2013/3/15/women-who-fail-to-pay-all-of-their-child-support-are-incarcerated-only-one-eighth-as-often-as-men-with-similar-violations/ Fathers and their children face gross, illegal, and historic discrimination through the HHS funded Title IV-D child support and parenting time system, discrimination that the actions and fruits of HHS's labors demonstrate they are intent on maintaining. Recently, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals wrote when striking down a North Carolina voter ID law: It is beyond  dispute  that  “voting  is  of  the  most fundamental significance under our constitutional structure.”   Although the new  provisions target African Americans with almost surgical precision, they constitute inapt remedies for the problems assertedly justifying them and, in fact, impose cures for problems that did not exist.   http://www.ca4.uscourts.gov/Opinions/Published/161468.P.pdf The North Carolina legislature wrote laws that target the fundamental rights of African Americans to vote with surgical precision, and this was part of a pattern or practice of discrimination. So also the results demonstrate that Health and Human Services has executed, or failed to faithfully execute, federal laws, along with their state agency partners, in a manner which effectively also targets the rights of fathers to exercise their fundamental right to parent their children (Troxel v Granville) with surgical precision, along with their fourteenth amendment rights to equality under the law. In addition, because African American fathers are much more likely than other fathers to interact with the child support system, their rights are disproportionately impacted and harmed with surgical precision.  Please recall past communication, including: Action Opportunity: End Child Support Program Fraud, Misandry, and Racketeering Harming Children and Fathers https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/443of2/action_opportunity_end_child_support_program/ Action Opportunity: Demand Title IV-D Agencies Respect Public Policy and Protect Children by Enforcing Parenting Time https://www.reddit.com/r/MensRights/comments/38lz8u/action_opportunity_demand_title_ivd_agencies/ Criminal violations of federal law may include but are not limited to "18 USC § 241 - Conspiracy against rights" (including conspiring against the civil rights of fathers to parenting time enforcement), "18 USC § 249 - Hate crime acts" (including harming non-resident fathers and endangering their children), "18 USC § 1516 - Obstruction of Federal audit" (including fraudulently misrepresenting that these contractors are not acting illegally), "31 USC § 3729 - False claims" (possibly including fraudulent documentation denying pervasive and illegal activities), "18 USC Chapter 96 - RACKETEER INFLUENCED AND CORRUPT ORGANIZATIONS" (possibly including fraud to pervert the course of justice, or fraud to prevent a father from seeing his child amounting to kidnapping), or "18 USC § 1001 - Statements or entries generally" (false statements). Please recall that agencies and individuals who fail to properly train their employees or contractors not to engage in civil rights violations are subject to liability under "42 USC § 1983 - Civil action for deprivation of rights" and other federal laws. I urge you to act with kindness towards fathers and their children, faithfulness to the law, and truthfulness with the public, protecting all victims, and acting in the interests of justice. Victims depend on you to protect them from crime. Until you do, fathers and their children who are victims of violations of law must hope for justice, and persevere.
