| The lie unravels | |
The Daily
Telegraph reports
that hundreds of women who have duped men out of years of child support for
children that are not theirs can now be forced to pay back the money.
DNA techniques can, of course prove conclusively who the father is, and isn't. Needless to say, WIMMIN!'s groups are outraged that WIMMIN! will have to
actually take responsibility for their actions.
Angry women's groups said last night that it would be the children at the
centre of the disputes who would suffer most if money were paid back.
Apparently these loving mothers are going to take it out on the children.
The money has already been spent on rearing the child, If the
mother is forced to pay it back, its hard to imagine the child won't be
disadvantaged.
Apparently WIMMIN! shouldn't have to pay their debts if they have already spent
their ill gotten gains on raising children. Does that mean they don't have pay
mortgages, or car loans or credit cards too? Or is this a special exemption which
only applies to men they have lied to? While the knee-jerk reaction might be to have some sympathy for 'confused women
acting in good faith', perhaps women who have have so many partners in the space
of a month that they don't know the paternity of their child should speak up about
their uncertainty before pursuing a man they claim to be responsible. While people may not have an obligation to let a partner know about their
infidelities, they surely have an obligation to report relevant factors when suing
them for child support.
She said men should raise doubts about paternity when they are first told they
are a father.
Serves them right for believing the word of a woman I guess.
