So, reparations equals…
Don’t pay child support;
And pee in public;
Public urination should be enforced heavily. It is disgusting.
I wake up and go outside to pee all the time. I probably pee outside as much as I do inside. I am marking my territory to help keep the hogs and coyotes away.

Key word, “public”.
This feels like the Bee. So who pays the expenses to raise these kids, the state?
Parrots understanding of the story isnt accurate, this commission or whatever it is is calling for the interest on unpaid child support be waived. California attaches a 10% fine to unpaid CS, 27% of owed CS is fines.
It’s a health issue, not a criminal issue for police is their point.
I agree with child support, but have always been against the interest accumulated. A person can’t get ahead because of interests when what they do pay goes to interest owed first. That’s in CA anyway.
Lol…when some people can’t follow the laws just eliminate them. Great idea
The report revealed the state’s black residents represent a larger percentage of those who owe child support debt than their proportion of the state’s population
I see what they’re saying, blacks are deadbeats that don’t care about their kids.
Correct, to an extent,
From the link;
“‘At a minimum, the proposal recommends that the Legislature eliminate the prospective accrual of interest on child support debt for low-income parents,’ the report said.”
Which, in reality isn’t a horrible idea.
But…
Also from the link;
“‘The Task Force further recommends that the Legislature amend Family Code section 17560, the ‘offers in compromise’ provision, to allow for offers in compromise and forgiveness of child support debt based solely on a parent’s financial (sic) circumstances and ability to pay,’ it added.”
And another indictment of the entire committee is that they are complaing about child support.
Want to fix that? Reduce the number of children out of wedlock!!!
There, I fixed it for free!!!

They blame laws for splitting up black families. If they mentioned which laws, the writer of the story didn’t cover them. I just cannot imagine how that can happen, that laws are separating families.
My guess is any law that would lead to the incarceration of a black father.
There was a time when if you shared a joint with anyone and got caught, you would be charged with distribution of a narcotic and sent to prison.
There also was a time that fathers financially supported their kids and if the refused they were punished. Looks like California lefties want to change that.
To add to my post above, the war on drugs really ramped up when some prisons went private in the 80’s. Then it’s all about profit, fill those prisons up and they make more money from taxpayers. I’m against private for profit prisons.
Dumb law but how does it affect black families?
Not only dumb, but decades old.
No one in the US is in prison for handing someone a joint.
Do you live in the real world? It’s complicated sometimes. There’s divorce, then lose your job, you get behind in child support payments. Then when you get another job start paying again, and your payment goes to interest and the amount owed never gets lower. I’m against the interest. I talked to someone who’s kids are in their early 40’s now and he’s still paying the state child support payments. That ain’t right IMO.
True, and I agree the interest in California is egregious, but it isn’t the norm.
When I worked at the County Jail I booked someone in on back child support. The problem was, his previous employer was taking it out, but not sending it to the State.
I told him, unfortunately, he is going to probably go after the employer himself because the State of Missouri will only care about getting their money from him.
He was given a signature bond right away, and I never learned the outcome.
If there is no penalty why bother paying anything at all or ever?
Because you can go to jail, they will revoke your drivers license, you can’t buy a house. Is that penalty enough? Child support is at the top of a credit report just like taxes owed. The interest charged is unfair IMO.
