LILLY IS NOW BACK IN BUSINESS IN CHARLESTON
. . . As cruel as it sounds, the one remedy (in child support collection) that almost always works is incarceration. We family court judges call it "the magic fountain." Of course, there is no magic. The money is paid by his mother, or by the second wife, or by some other innocent who perhaps had to liquidate her life's savings.
Quoted by RONALD K. HENRY, Family Law Quarterly Vol. 33 No. 1 1999

Cruelty to animals is barbarism and savagery. I just have to wonder why animals are being selectively protected while humans are being ignored in cases where the state turns a profit. If we intend to tout ourselves as a civilized society we shouldn’t tolerate it anywhere. See:
