L.A. Times Claims Child Support System Successful
Submitted by Scott on Tue, 2002-01-08 00:32
Marc Angelucci writes "In this article, the L.A. Times says that California's new child support collection program is a success because a study shows that it "more than doubled the average amount brought in" and because it fostered "cooperation" between father's rights groups and child support advocates." The author does use gender-neutral language. But he only quotes from state officials and a child support advocacy group, never from a men's rights group. Had the author consulted and quoted a men's rights group, then we might also have read about things like biased custody and support awards, excessive enforcement, the system's failure to enforce visitation and ensure that support is spent on the children, or how custodial mothers receive higher support awards than custodial fathers even when all other factors are equal.
