Child Support Deadbeat Dad Arrested Overseas

Robert Sands owes over a million dollars in child support. Robert Sands didn't think he should have to pay. Neither did anyone who enabled him. Robert Sands had a "papers please" moment in the Philippines, and now he is back in America. He's only looking at about four years behind bars, though. Health and Human Services has a new website to help with things like turning in, or locating a child support scofflaw. Just to make it easier for those who would be tempted to ignore the laws and not report deadbeat dads, ( lets not pretend that Robert Sands was completely without enablers) the form for turning them in is right here.
 

Another bit of trivia concerning child support is that most child support obligees (the persons who are owed the money) are women, and most child support obligors (the persons who owe the money and occasionally become deadbeats) are men. Historically, state and federal government agencies in the United States have made fewer efforts to assist in collection of child support than they have made for the collection of unpaid parking tickets.
