I know. I feel bad for basically racially profiling the typical rapist, but...well...here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Correction: white men. No judge has ever had a problem ruining a young black male’s life no matter the crime.

Guys, guys, guys... It’s not like he did something serious like smoke marijuana. Those monsters deserve to be in jail for life.

Admittedly I’m not a legal professional but I’d guess that if you have to say it’s not a light sentence, it’s probably a good sign that it is.

“If you think I am going easy on you I am not" but... you are? Now he's just going to get better at not being caught.

I am a single mother of 3. I tried like hell to make my marriage work but after 15 years I could not support my husbands drug habit and my children. I work full time and bring home about $1300 dollars a month.I receive no child support although Child Support Enforcement does a wonderful job of keeping track of how…

It's not about whether the women talk about it, it's the fact that the media fails to talk about it.

I'm not all that sad about a man that left behind an unemployed wife and his sick children so that he could get out of paying them any money. The courts are going after him aggressively because he obviously was a slacker on the payments, and his family needed the money.

" There are also a lot of dads out there who never wanted to be parents and were tricked into becoming a dad, who I know personally."

Some divorced husbands are "deadbeats" simply because they couldn't afford to pay the way for the woman and the kids even if they were still together. Not every "deadbeat dad" is blowing a fortune on Lamborghinis and mistresses. A LOT of them are every bit as poor or even poorer than the women calling them "deadbeats."

So rather than keep a decent job that can provide for their kids they take a lower paying job that will result in more money for them and less money for their kids? Everything I spend money on for me results in less that I have for my kid, and vice versa. That's called being a parent.

Any man who refuses to support the children he made because he's mad at their mother for "driving him away" is a deadbeat.

Exactly, as though the single mom is living large off child support. When I was in high school I was looking through a filing cabinet for my birth certificate and I found a letter my dad sent my mom complaining about how high the child support was and how he didn't think he should have to pay it. And I was, "oh, so…

I'll make sure to tell my cousins whose father left them and their mother to marry another woman and raise a new family together that they should take their father's physical, financial, and emotional abandonment of them with a grain of salt because you, Lily., know of 2 men, 2, who were left by their partners.

Parenting should be "all hands on deck." I was raised by a single father who worked around the clock to support 4 children when my mom decided that she would rather live up the remainder of her twenties smoking cigarettes and going to nightclubs. I pretty much just saw my mom in the summer months when the courts…

I wish people would say this more often:

I had a very similar experience, and pretty much every single mother that I know experienced the same thing. Bullying and threatening is a very prominent tool that the kind of men who leave their families use. I think many men leave these types of relationships (low income families) because they are hoping for more…

My sister's ex-husband told her, when he left her with two toddlers, that he had no interest in being a part of their family anymore. California law mandates that child support be taken out of father's paychecks if they don't pay, and when that started to happen, he threatened to steal the kids from her if she didn't…
