Story here. Excerpt:

'Fathers who fail to pay maintenance for their children will be "named and shamed" on the internet as part of a Government drive to make them honour their family responsibilities.

Offenders with a record of non-payment could also be fitted with electronic tags, subjected to curfews or have their passports withheld.'
