Your are a liberal, right? Write to someone who believes it takes a village to raise a child. Your moralistic whine is rediculous. If the father is such a stand up guy let him take responsibility. If he is not then the child is probably better off with out such a sorry role model in his young life. Surely there are other family members who can fill that role, and if not, then Mom is in the hot seat.

And all this time I thought parents accepting responsibility for their children's support was a conservative view. If this is actually a liberal view, then yes, I am a flaming liberal.

If the father is such a stand up guy let him take responsibility. If he is not then the child is probably better off with out such a sorry role model in his young life.

And why should being a poor role model excuse a parent from paying to help support his or her children?

Surely there are other family members who can fill that role...

IOW, it takes a village.

...and if not, then Mom is in the hot seat.

But that's the child's problem, right?
