[On the Road to Serfdom]

That's not what I gathered from the article.

You gather a lot of things from the article that are not infact in it. Examples:

Post 144: "I bet the little girl is feeling wonderful right now knowing that the man who pretended to be her daddy now wants to take it back."

Post 147: That the man wants to punish or is punishing the girl.

Post 279: "This is a man who would rather destroy a little girl's life than accept his responsibilities."

From where in the article did you draw these conclusions?

[Demidog]

"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.

Right. He's a great dad. I was simply mistaken and read into the article things that weren't there.
