Man Sues After Finding Girl Not His Daughter
Fri Nov 1,10:43 AM ET

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - An Australian man is suing his former partner to recover more than $10,000 he spent on a little girl, for things such as presents, zoo trips and meals, after discovering she was not his daughter, a newspaper said on Friday.

"I want it all back -- every cent for every toy, every blanket, every bit of food," the man, who can't be identified for legal reasons, said.

"I wouldn't have spent all that money had I known five years ago she wasn't my kid," he was quoted saying by the Herald-Sun.

The claims include take-away McDonald's food over five years, four visits to an amusement park, three Barbie dolls, a Pooh Bear play tent, a day of skating, and child support payments.

The Herald-Sun said the man took the action after DNA tests found the girl was not his daughter.

The girl's mother said she was willing to repay the child support payments but that she should not have to pay back anything else.

"She had a good time with him that's the main thing," she was quoted as saying. "I don't think he should carry on too much about it. He should treat it like doing something nice with a friend."

Not the same, the child never hurt this man. Antonio's not an innocent child. Antonio sabotaged Shylock for years and stole from him because Shylock is a Jew. Portia defrauded him. Shylock was denied his revenge SOLELY because he was a Jew. Shylock's daughter betrayed him and was stolen from him thanks to a plot that Antonio and Bassionio most likely participated in. Antonio even took away Shylock's religion from him after Shylock was not allowed to get his revenge. Shylock wanted revenge not because of envy, but because of Antonio's sabotage, bullying and plotting to impoverish him (and he succeeded in impoverishing Shylock.) Shylock was abused and is a victim. This man is a jerk who doesn't care about a little girl. This little girl did not bully this man. Antonio bullied Shylock. The child, unlike Antonio who wronged Shylock repeatedly, did nothing but enjoy the gifts she got from somebody who she THOUGHT loved her.

However, I do feel sorry for this man. But he should save his anger for the “woman”. If he doesn't want to buy anymore things for her, fine, and this “woman” doesn't deserve anything. However, he can't take away the toys that he ha already bought. So this man is a bit of a jerk, but the mom is worse for deceiving him.
