Retards will hear stories like this, and then go "yeah mandatory child support is a good thing actually." As if denying a father access to his child leads to stellar outcomes for both. Or that arresting a non-violent man and putting him in prison for failure to pay is somehow beneficial to society. Given A) you now have to house him, B) he isn't paying taxes, C) is now a registered criminal which will effect his future employment options, or D) that the resulting overcrowding doesn't enable liberal parole boards to put actual violent criminals back on the streets. Its an asinine society that tolerates women surrendering children at fire stations, or hospitals, but locks up a man for not being able to pay child support for a child he can't even see.
Oh, I'm totally sure
@DSaC's uncle's girlfriend totally made clear her intentions to abscond with the child to another state. Or that she was totally looking to become a parasite on someone's back.
