A Kansas Dad, or as the Kansas division of child support enforcement likes to call him, a “non custodial parent” has protested against a postcard sent out to his address by child support services that, due to the fact that they are not enclosed in envelopes, clearly reveal that he pays child support, citing privacy concerns. The details are as follows from an article titled Dad ‘Shocked’ and ‘Embarrassed’ by Child Support Postcard (emphasis mine):

Are postcard reminders to pay child support an invasion of privacy, as one father charges — or a reasonable way to nudge parents to pay?

A father in Kansas is up in arms — not because the state makes him pay child support, but because of the postcards they send him reminding him of his obligation every month.

The postcards are an “invasion of privacy,” the dad, identified only as Scott, told Kansas TV station KWCH. Because they aren’t sealed like a letter, anyone who sees them can read them. “I was utterly shocked,” he said. “Not only shocked, but embarrassed that they would be sending these cards out as public knowledge. I live in a very small town, and it’s like, why don’t you just put a sign in my front yard saying, ‘Hey, here’s a noncustodial parent, and he’s paying child support.’

“I will never complain about support because I know that is a valid need,” added Scott. “I created those children, and I do want to be an active partner in their life. I know the amount that is due every month, it’s paid every month.”

But a state official says the postcards, which have been going out to noncustodial parents who were mandated by courts to pay child support, pose no privacy threat.

“These postcards are fairly discrete, but they do make clear that the individual does owe child support, not for the purpose of shaming anyone” but for the purpose of reminding them, Theresa Freed, communication director for the Kansas Department of Children and Families, told KWCH.

“You ask any parents who have children in their home and are not getting their child-support payments, and they will tell you it is vital,” she said, adding that the information on the cards doesn’t note how much needs to be paid or other personal financial details.

While Scott and perhaps other recipients see the postcards as the state’s way of publicly shaming them, even though they’ve been lawful and responsible, the other side of the story is that the postcards just might work.

And that means states don’t have to use much heavier tactics — such as suspending a deadbeat parent’s driver’s license or intercepting his or her tax return — to collect the $28 billion in child support mandated by courts every year, according to the federal Office of Child Support Enforcement.

“Collecting child support is a huge problem, so anything that nudges a parent to pay what is owed is a good thing,” Jeffrey R. Esser, a family law attorney in Chicago, tells Yahoo Parenting.

That said it’s relatively easy to collect the money from reluctant-to-pay parents who have a steady job because the money is automatically taken out of their paycheck once an order for child support is issued, says Esser. But it’s harder if the person doesn’t have a steady job or is a contract worker.

If wages can’t be garnished from an nonpaying parent, the IRS will take it from the parent’s tax return, suspend their driver’s license or professional license, or even go after the parent’s assets, he adds.

Now, we all know that women who reproduce are given access to a bevy of government services at both the state and federal level, wic, foodstamps and a host of other programs become immediately available to the mother down on her financial luck. Thus it’s fair to conclude that these cards are making their way to male “non custodial parents” in the vast majority. It’s just another way that child protective services carries out it’s witch hunt against the male sex. As the article states the disenfranchisement of the male sex via the child support industry can take the form of garnished wages, confiscated tax returns, suspended drivers licenses etc. It’s all designed to further entrench men into the quagmire of the machinations of the child support system. Women, by virtue of the services they have access to, taken in part from the tax revenue the very “deadbeat dads” these cards are sent to have at some point earned, are abrogated from these effects along with the fact that mothers receive primary custody of children at a much higher percentage than fathers, anywhere from 68%-88% of the time depending on the area. I suspect that figure is actually much higher but even with those numbers it will become clear that there is a socially engineered and systematic discrimination against fathers that sets them up to fail and to be separated from their offspring. I wonder if it is only a matter of time before the child support payment history of “deadbeat dads” will be posted online in some sort of registry for anyone to see. Women will check it so as to vet the new men in their lives to make sure he isn’t a deviant deadbeat. A record of missed child support payments for women will remain subsidized by the federal government of course. How can woman “miss” a child support payment when the state coughs it up at the expense of the mostly male tax payer?
