L.A. judge acknowledges anti-male bias

Marc writes "This article at NBC4.TV discusses the paternity fraud case of Taron James, a Gulf War veteran in Torrance, CA, a member of NCFM-LA, and the founder of
Veterans Fighting Paternity Fraud. Taron was stationed in the Gulf of Mexico on drug interdiction when a woman falsely identified him as the father of her child in order to collect benefits. The DA obtained a default judgment against Taron using faulty service that wasn't even in Taron's name. When the DA then came after Taron, he
got a DNA test that excluded him as the father. The DA still pursued him and took over $45,000 of his property, driving him virtually penniless. When the DA garnished Taron's unemployment pay, Taron appealed it. The administrative law judge wrote a decision saying that he cannot do anything about it but that this was totally unjust. The article quotes part of the decision, but the best part, not quoted in the article, is when the judge says:
“Further, it is acknowledged that ongoing fraud in the child support arena occurs regularly, and there is a distinct anti-male prejudice at work, of which the claimant is a victim. Hundreds if not thousands of individuals are being deprived of their due process rights to liberty and property as a result of draconian child support laws.”

When NCFM-LA gets its website finally updated, we'll post the full decision."
