What an arse-h*%e...you didn't have much credibility but you've certainly destroyed what little you did have with this... Just for your eludication...child-drop-off is consequence free, legal abandonment of an infant child by a mother, sometimes also called "safe haven" laws or "hatchery" laws. Currently at least 37 states have "safe haven" laws with more in progress. All the mother has to do is take the child to a "safe" drop off point...she can't just throw it in a dumpster, which is what some used to do...such as a police station, fire station, welfare office, hospital or medical clinic etc. There are *NO* strings attached, in most case they aren't even allowed to ask her her name so there are absolutely NO legal consequences...note that in all but two states this provision is NOT available to the father and those two they *require* that he provide identification...for future child support no doubt... If you don't believe me...and you probably won't...there's plenty of info on the net. up to and including state statutes that you can read yourself... ...Ken Update, with a little further research I've discovered that apparently there are now 47 states with "safe haven" laws and, wonder of all wonders, a couple of them will also accept an infant from a man without asking questions...but only a couple... ...and NO Fred, this ISN'T adoption... ...Ken I'd be willing to bet that it remains that the mother can refute the abandonment by the father (claiming she never wanted to abandon the baby), retrieve the child and force the father to pay child support, a situation that is not available for the father in the reverse situation.

So tell me, what are the differences? And more importantly, what is it about adoption that caused 47 state legislatures to feel it necessary to pass these "safe haven" laws? There must be something ... There is. It's called expanding women's choices. Phil #3 |

What's wrong with that? There is nothing wrong with asking both men and women to take responsibility for their choices, and I'll add actions. It is no different then my s2bx trying to place blaim on me for his drinking problem, and prior to me it was his first ex-wife's fault. There are those who refuse to take responsibility for their actions/choices and then there those who see they are responsible for their actions/choices. Exactly. These boys are the ultimate in sexist selfishness. If they can't control the woman, they want nothing to do with her ... and their children. And, of course, that means not having to support the children that they actively, willingly, and with informed consent participated in procreating. "She's being irresponsible!", they bleat, claiming this as justification for their own claims to irresponsible behavior. Well, even if/when she *is* being irresponsible, that absolutely does not justify their being irresponsible in turn. This is simply a copout. And for the record, I refer to them as "boys" because in my opinion they are not men. I'm pretty sure they don't care what you think, little lady. For me, I'm NEVER impressed when a woman tries to tell me how a man should act, especially when forgiving women for acting the same way. Phil #3 |

That's the problem, TM, she doesn't want women to be responsible for ANYTHING except what they *choose* to take on while retaining the ability to change their mind at any time. Phil #3 |

In order for dad to use Legal Abandon Laws, first dad would have to win legal custody, and the time needed to do that ( Assuming that he has great legal cause to win with, a situation that misandrous family kourts make greatly unlikely ), which would take the infant past the new born status that such drop offs are limited to.

Andre Absolutely true. I was intimating that even if "dad" had received permission from "mom" to drop the baby off, she can still change her mind, retrieve the baby and sue for child support from the 'drop-off dad'. No matter what, it is NOT gender neutral because it only applies to fathers if and only as long as he has the mother's permission. Mothers do not need anyone's permission or approval. Phil #3 |

If Dad wants only 20%, he pays mom to handle his other 30 percent. If mom wants 80/20 and can get dad to agree, she handles the other 30 % she chooses on her own. Other than that, they pay for their own expenses. "No rights to walk away". How do you propose stopping someone from doing so? How do we do it now ? What he means is that if you were in a relationship where having children was an agreed upon objective or wherein you had agreed to the commitment of having and supporting children, you don't get to *LEGALLY* walk away just because you might want to. (Note, this relationship doesn't necessarily have to be a marriage, it could be co-habitation, if could even be separate habitation but you've told the pregnant women that you agree to support the child...which influences her decision to have the child...you don't get to arbitrarily walk away if you've freely made a commitment... But people do every day... They excuse their behavior by stating "I changed my mind." It boils down to that the real problems are morals, not legal, issues. Yes Tracy, but when it's *men* who "change their minds", the law holds them to their obligations...hell even when they haven been given a chance to make a decision, the law STILL holds them to "their" obligations...even when boys and men have been sexually abused, sexually assaulted and raped...the law STILL holds them to "their" obligations... OTOH, when it's a woman who changes her mind she can have an abortion or, if she objects to abortion she can unilaterally put the child up for adoption or, if that's too much trouble then in over 47 states now she can just legally walk away by abandoning the child at a "safe haven"...see the difference ? ....Ken |

Fred wrote: Gini wrote: "teachrmama" wrote ............................ And you, Fred, are totally *dismissing* WOMEN'S responsibilities! I am a woman, and I find it demeaning that you keep harping on what MEN should do, but not a hint about how WOMEN should handle their responibilities in the same situation. Everything a woman does after the sex act is a consequence of where that mean old man left his semen. Nonsense! Or maybe I'm just reading you wrong--why don't you clearly delineate what the woman's responsibilities are after the consequence of pregnancy becomes an issue. == A ride to the CSE office? (Because she's *owed* it, of course.) I guess that the matter is best explained by reference to the theme of the game Fable: "For every choice, a consequence." It's too bad that you seem to grasp the obvious fact that all post conception choices are the woman's and therefore, in accordance with the precepts of "Natural/Fundamental" Justice, all the consequences that follow from those choices should also be hers. So he chooses to spread his semen hither and yon, and she chooses to let him spread it in her. And let's say that the consequence is pregnancy. But that's as far as the "consequence" of his "spreading his sperm around" go. After that the woman has many options and CHOICES...even if she decides (note the word "decides") not to abort the fetus, that to, is a CHOICE, the consequence of which will most likely be the birth of a child... And if the child is born, how does that absolve the man from any responsibility for or to the child? Isn't it still 50% genetically his child, and legally his child as well? Now there are other choices to be made, in this case by her, and from those choices will spring consequences in turn. Yes, as I noted above, but ALL post conception choices are HER choices, to hold him responsible for the consequences that follow from HER choices is fundamentally unfair, unjust and, on top of all that, most likely unconstitutional... So because she has choices that pertain strictly to undergoing (or not undergoing) a medical and surgical procedure, you think this absolves the man from any responsibility, even though it's still his child? When the father legally has 50% of the rights to match his responsibilities, the we can come back to his responsibilities toward the child. Until he becomes an actual parent in the life of the child he helped create--50/50 with the mother, he also should not be the bankroll. So if one parent dumps all of the responsibility onto the other parent, the parent shouldering the responsibility gets all the rights, and the parent who dumped their responsibilities gets no rights? Depends. Unmarried: default 50/50 with both mom and dad having the same rights to walk away in the exact same time frame. But the default 50/50 is the key. Married and divorcing: default 50/50. No rights to walk away. If Dad wants only 20%, he pays mom to handle his other 30 percent. If mom wants 80/20 and can get dad to agree, she handles the other 30 % she chooses on her own. Other than that, they pay for their own expenses. "No rights to walk away". How do you propose stopping someone from doing so? "they pay for their own expenses" So one parent doesn't cover the kids with health insurance, and the other parent doesn't cover the kids with health insurance, either. They both insist it's the other's expense. So what happens, you just hang the kids out to dry and no one is required to provide health insurance? (or any other expense that both parents insist isn't their expense, it's the *other* parent's expense) Absolutely, Moon. Who gave kids of divorce more rights than kids of marriage? Why should kids of divorce be guaranteed health insurance when kids of marriage are not? As long as the basic needs are met, why should *anyone* be forced to provide sometning he/she doesn't want to? Well, if you think it's ok to not be required to provide for children on the basis of "I don't want to", then there's probably not a whole lot more that's going to be said here. I don't think divorced parents should be forced to provide any more than married parents are forced to provide, Moon. Married parents are not required to work. Married parents are not required to provide health insurance, and in many cases are not required to provide medical attention. Married parents are not required to successfully battle alcoholism. But golly gosh gee whiz, you sure want that mean old CP to work, and all the rest! No, I don't. If that's what the CP chooses to do, fine. But I don't think the CP should be required to do any more than married parents are required to do, either. You're just complaining because you choose to do all those things and would probably like more help from your children's father. I wasn't complaining at all - I was pointing out some of the things that you are requiring of your stepdaughter's mother, that are NOT required of married parents. My husband's daughter's mother has never worked a day in her life, Moon! And I don't require her to do anything in any case. Well, you've sure complained about it enough About what, Moon? I have never complained about my husband supporting his daughter. You are wrong. I have complained about the system that tried to stick him with a dozen years of arrearages plus penalties and interest for a child he didn't know existed. I've complained that *any* arrearages were due at all--the system is wrong on that issue. I've complained that I KNOW the money is not used just for the child it is paid for. I've certainly complained that the woman is not held accountable for even one penny of her own children's support. But I've never complained about his supporting his own daughter. Wrong again, Moon. If Parg/Hyerdahl were here she be *convinced* that you are a man...just because you believe in fairness and justice and equality... ....Ken |
