The state will not step in yet b/c she is not getting State welfare benefits.
I understand. The article also memtioned that "she won't ask him" -she says because she wants him to voluntarily be involved with his kids - but also probably because she knows it would cut into the SSD- and also because somewhere deep inside, she also knows he'll run.
It's my opinion the atate should be far more aggressive in pursuing these deadbeat serial inseminators like Jimmah.
You guys are way too nice, imo. I understand that your hands are somewhat tied by the regulations of different agencies, BUT I also feel like the public at large needs a lot of education about the whole process. Especially the serial inseminators of the future.
If the public demanded more accountability, then we would have more accountability.
From BOTH parties.
ps This is the third time I've tried to post this. Hope it gets there ;)
If she applies for State benefits, she will have no choice. The Texas AG will file a lawsuit against him to establish paternity and get court ordered child support. They don't need her permission. In my opinion he should be in jail for statutory rape. The Texas AG is required by law to refer these types of cases to the local District Attorney if the mother was a minor when impregnated. Most DAs don't want to prosecute these cases b/c the women won't cooperate. Another problem with these cases is that these young mothers are showered with gifts and attention, probably for the first time in their lives. It makes them feel special and only encourages them to have more children. I don't feel they should be given a scarlet letter, but throwing them a party is the wrong thing to do.
