Did you read the whole story?
The guy made child support payments for 13 years, and then stopped when he discovered the child wasn’t his. But he was still ordered to make backpayments to the State (who else?) to the tune of $16,000... of which he paid $10,000, even after becoming HOMELESS.
The State destroyed this man’s life, imprisoned him for over a year, and he’s not going to see a penny of the tens of thousands of dollars the government wrongfully confiscated from him, nor will he likely see restitution for wrongful imprisonment.
Our government is absolutely corrupt at every level.
As I said, it exists primarily to fund its existence on the backs of the long suffering citizens.
Not only did I read the entire story, I remember the original story when the judge ordered him to pay child support even after the dna tests proved he was not the father.
Even then I said this guy should go find the judge in an alley with a lead pipe.
I’ve said it before and now I will say it again. The only legalized form of Slavery, (or Indentured Servitude if you prefer that form), left in the United States is Child Support for a child that is not yours and Alimony for life to your ex-wife.
ANd this is the same compassonate bunch that the lefts want to control our healthcare. Not thiers, mind you, but ours.

‘Debtor’s prison’ was outlawed in most places many years ago but has been resurrected under the auspices of the family court.
