Oh, I must be out of touch. Do they still call them kids? I thought they were just bargaining chips.
They call them Little Tommy MealTicket and Little Suzy SupportCheck.
I've seen lots of kids mistreated by welfare mommas who are living off of what comes in from the BeatDead Dad and the Big Government Substitute Husband. Intended for the kids, the money goes to the welfare momma's good times with her serial shack-up boyfriends, while the kids dress in rags and eat unflavored gruel.
Not the America the founding fathers wanted.
Then again, they had automatic father custody of all a couple's children, which needs to be reclaimed ASAP.
