Nobody should be thrown in jail over a debt, I don't care what it is for.

So putting a parent in jail is in the "Best interests of the child"?

It is really in the best interests of the lawyers. It encourages reliable payment,

which encourages women to file for divorce, and hire lawyers.

If your in jail, how can you pay?

Meanwhile, women who can't afford their children get free housing and food.... Well, free to them. The men who make up the majority of the taxpayers are obviously the ones footing the bill. But they're men, so nobody cares....

How many are women?

"Between 1850 and 1860, 343 African Americans appeared before federal commissioners. Of those 343 people, 332 African Americans were sent to slavery in the South. The commissioners allowed only eleven people to remain free in the North. Thousands of African Americans fled to Canada. Some people who had been free for their entire lives left the country. Abolitionists challenged the Fugitive Slave Law's legality in court, but the United States Supreme Court upheld the law's constitutionality in 1859." http://www.ohiohistorycentral.org/w/Fugitive_Slave_Law_of_1850

332 people over a 10 year period compared to ... how many?!
