Father's child support payments go into 'black hole'. Not a cent was reaching the son who was a result of one night stand.

If I'm required to pay child support, then the other parent should be required to send me receipts. If anything doesn't add up, then I should be able to go to court with that information and get my money back.

"Then, in October, Mr Anscombe received a call from a relative of the mother who told him she had died in 2005. He was then informed that his son, who was living in a foster home at the time..."

Government prefers to give a child to a stranger than a father. Additional evidence western government's are hostile toward fathers and family.

As much money is skimmed off the top in the child support racket, you think they would have a way to track the money. For example, issue debit cards similar to how food stamps work. It cannot be used in an ATM, and it can only be used for authorized purchases (food, school supplies, etc). Sure it's not fool-proof, but it's better than the current system.

Man, I hate how messed up that situation is. I guess that makes me part of this "hate" group.

As someone with a true douchebag of a father and a mother who made him look like a saint, this seriously pisses me off. I'm currently trying to think of a way to get three years of payments back from her.

Revenue Minister Peter Dunne said he was also unable to talk about Mr Anscombe's situation, but added he was very concerned and had asked the department for an urgent report on the case.

Look, everyone! There's nothing to worry about. The Inland Revenue dude asked for an urgent report, not just a regular "whenever you get around to it" report. So we know he's taking this very seriously and everything will soon be in order.

It does not really matter. If the mother were still alive and used all the child support money for clothes, alcohol, or drugs while the child lived in abject poverty, would anyone care? Jail the mother for stealing baby's money?

Of course not.

Not shady at all...

A department spokesman refused to answer detailed questions about how much money had been paid, what had happened to the money, and what processes were in place to ensure similar events did not happen, citing privacy reasons.

Solution? Always use a condom.
