[Vision2020] Jerry Brady on the Auntie E. and Brother C. show

[J Ford]

Another question for Mr. Brady:

Idaho, like many other states, has State as well as Federal laws that they 
are supposed to follow in regards to child support recovery; i.e., if they 
know where the "absent" parent is, they need to go after that person (96% 
are men) and recover the monies owed.  Why, then, does Idaho NOT follow 
through with other states when they know where the parent is?  If another 
state, for instance, has a policy or a "known fact" of violating the Fed 
Laws and does not pursue the "absent" parent, why doesn't Idaho press the 
issue and go to court seeking remedy that is available through the court 
system?  Why is it that it seems easier for the State of Idaho to put the 
children on the Medicaid/Food Stamp/AFDC programs than to do their job and 
get the "absent" parent to pay their share of raising the child(ren)?  What 
happened to "It takes a village to raise a child" that was so flaunted about 
some years ago?  When is THIS state going to take the bull by the horns and 
DEMAND the rights of the child(ren) be protected and the support be 
received?

When did it become ok for the children of this state to be in a situation of 
poverty when going after the "absent" parent could help alleviate that 
situation and help the State coffers out at the same time?


Is anyone collecting these questions so they can be asked?
