A man has parental rights... that’s reality - and if he forced a woman to bear his child, he should be responsible for it.
Let’s not let him off the hook because he committed a vile act. You break it, you own it.
When you become a parent, irrespective of what circumstances in which you became a parent, now you face the music.
No, the woman in question doesn’t owe you anything but its your child.
Bullcrap. A person male or female can lose parental rights for serious crimes. If a rapist creates a child, I agree to hold them responsible....financially. But the satate can garnish that without her ever seeing him.
But It’s evil to force the woman to interact with him as a co-parent complete with custody rights. Utterly insane. I’m not talking accusations thrown around, but only a court convicted rapist.
No other crime victim is forced to interact monthly with the predator for a few decades.
“Let’s not let him off the hook because he committed a vile act. You break it, you own it.”
Agreed - he should pay be paying the mother restitution. It’s unclear what if anything the guy was convicted of. If it was felony rape, he should have lost all rights to the child - but still pay restitution.
Those rights are often predicated on providing child support - couldn't find it in the story...
Let’s not let him off the hook because he committed a vile act. You break it, you own it.””
This creep should be in prison, and if he is, then he cannot even buy a package of diapers for the child.
Rape is more than just an ‘event’. The lingering consequences are often buried in the brain of the woman for a lifetime.
The child shouldn’t be used in this manner.
“A man has parental rights... that’s reality - and if he forced a woman to bear his child, he should be responsible for it.”
That is not “parental rights”. That is the child’s right to be supported. Different legal concept.
