Australian Child Support Agency misleads

	posted by Adam on Saturday June 28, @02:25PM from the Fatherhood,-or-what's-left-of-it dept.
	Chas writes "The federal government's Child Support Agency makes the front page lead story in today's (28/6) edition of "The Weekend Australian". The Agency is responsible for calculating and monitoring child support payments for more than 1.2 million separated or divorced parents [read fathers]. The newpaper's investigations shows that the agency has mishandled or ignored hundreds of threats of assault, murder and suicide by angry parents. This state of affairs has been uncovered by the newspaper's investigations. Elsewhere in today's edition of the paper (see separate post) sympathetic coverage is given to fathers caught up in the child support/separation for children whirligig. Read the lead story here"

And the result? (Score:1) by Dittohd on Saturday June 28, @09:52PM EST (#1) (User #1075 Info) I wonder what percentage of all these threats were carried out/not carried out. What's the benefit to the child support agency not to report all these threats? This article seems to leave more questions unanswered than answered. Dittohd
