246.0. "good show" by PCCAD::DINGELDEIN (PHOENIX) Thu Jan 14 1993 12:28

    Anyone catch "48 hours" on CBS last night. It was titled "Fathers Fight
    Back". I thought they did a good job portraying the bias and difficulty
    of the system.

    Darn.  Missed it. Guess I'll have to watch for it on the reruns.
    It's good to see fathers start getting some press other than bad
    though.

    In Rodchester N.H. there was a little incident where there was a dad
    with a restraining order against him. And his ex who had/has custody.
    Anyhow, she has been caught a week ago, leaving her children alone,
    and they were toddlers, and an infant. The infant was in the auto
    rocker. Mom decided to go out for a few pops at the local lounge with
    her other lounge lizard friends....... Home Alone? Again? 

    Anyhow the neighbor(s) found out, or new of her going out. And when the
    incident with the couple in Illinois hit the banners, there was some 
    guilt and a phone call to the cops, and to the children father. Etc.

    Guess there is something being done. And some men starting to owe up
    to the responsibility of their children despite the courts. Amen!

    For anyone who is interested. There is a group who will be protesting
    the incarceration of a man who is 2.5 years behind in his child
    support at the Laconia NH court house. This will be held on saturday
    from what I was told. 

    It appears that this man was incarcerated because he was not able to pay
    child support. The courts granted his ex the house. And the garage that
    he did his business and was able to make a living at, he was denied
    access to by the same court system that has jailed him and that had
    given the house to his ex. No care was taken to protect his rights to
    earn a living or to run an Incoprerated business. And when he tried to
    move the business and tried to get a permit from the town to operate
    in/at a new location. His ex walked into the meeting and bad mouthed
    him so badly he was not able to get the permit to operate. Hence, there
    is a revenge mode still turned on by his former wife as she continues
    to work at keeping him in jail.
