Can't he be made to pay? Can't his wages be garnished? Certainly he is making money.

Not just financially, but also by not providing the love, support and spiritual guidance they need. Money is one thing. It is needed to survive. But, even if these men did write a cheque every month, more should be required of them. There is many women and men that make bad choices and have children out of a proper family home. Me included. I have a teenage daughter from a 5 year relationship I had with a my high school sweetheart. We were young and dumb. And trust me I feel bad about it. But this is a man that walked away totally for ten years. I never saw or heard from him. Around her 10th birthday, all the sudden money started coming. I guess a switch went on in his head after all those years. I never took him to court or asked for it. He just started to pay. I am thankful for that. Life has improved. But now he is on his third child with a third woman. It is painful for me. He never visits or helps me deal with the issues of raising a teenage daughter. The money helps. But it is not being a dad. I could not have known who he was going to become in life. Sometimes women are very unaware of the lifestyle the men lead. Afterall most men obviously are not admiting to cheating and fathering children they dont want. There are probably stupid groupies out there looking to get pregnant and cash in. But I mean seriously, how many of those morons could really be out there. Most of the time, it is just the girl next door stuck with the responsibilities of being a mom and a dad and paying all the bills. From a broken hearted single mom, that never had the stomach to see her ex in court, so never bothered.

I ask though, what is said of the mothers of these children? In my opinion, a woman that has irresponsible, unprotected sex and then decides to have a baby with a man with just one child he has not supported should have ALL of the blame placed on her. Before she got pregnant, did she have the best interest of the child on her mind then. They knew the men were dead beats before they got pregnant. The thing that enticed them was the thought of receiving $85K lump sum payments. I'm quite sure that is more than their annual salaries.

First of all his first child was born out of a casual relationship . Second of all Anderson did keep up with his child support payments. Then he struck a deal with the mother of the child O'Conner and gave her a lump sum payment of 85,000 in 1998. O'Conner had the nerve to say he defaulted on his child support payments four years later in 2002. That is not a dead beat father. Further I am a woman and I receive child support payments and with my ex in which it is court ordered that he also pay for our children's extra curricular activities that they had been doing during our marriage. Trying to get the extra money he owes me out of him is a real struggle and it does not involve thousands of dollars. When he finally pays after fighting with me over it, I do believe I detect a tear in his eye giving up the money he is court ordered to pay. Further more my ex at one time did default and stopped paying his child support payments for almost two years. When I received a fair size sum of back support payments I used the money to benefit my children in which it enabled me to buy them a nice above ground swimming pool. This Patricia O'Conner tried to make a living because she bore one child from Glenn Anderson. O'Conner moaned and whined that her son wanted to play hockey and she could not afford it, well she could have applied that 85,000 dollars to her childs wish as child support payments is in fact to benefit the child. Furher O'Conners excuse was she was out of work. Well you know what, as a single mother I have been out of work, and even though I too am educated I took any job I could get to help make ends meet at diffrent intervals. I mean I took some demeaning jobs that were in the telemarketing field at times until I found something better. I found that demeaning of my edcucation, however, It helped to feed my children and pay the bills. Child support is not suppose to be where one party makes a living it is suppose to help enhance the child's life. This is the perspective of a woman that does receive child suppport payments. As for him not seeing his son, I have a feeling that O'Conner made that a difficult transaction. Many people that are split up both men and women try to use the children as a vice to get to their ex's. I can't stand my ex but I have never allowed my children to see that, in fact they will say they love their father because I never asked them to hate him. Glenn Anderson is not a dead beat father. Hell I wish my ex would give me a lump sum payment of 85,000 dollars, trying to get an extra $20 out of him that he is ordred to pay is like world war 2. Glenn is now settled and married and has a daughter that seems to love her father from what I seen when his jersey was retired. I hope that he and his son get together on thier own without O'Conners intrusion. I refute your inclusion of Glenn Anderson being a dead beat father.
