Hmm.. What's the betting the child support will be the first thing taken out of his estate?

Disgusting, hope the assholes who allowed this man to suffer and die go to jail themselves.

Incarcerating fathers who don't get to see their kids: hat tip to the "Deadbeat Parent's Punishment Act" signed into law in 1998. Thanks Bill Clinton!

If this was a woman in their prison there is no way she would've died. Mens suffering just isn't important.

the jail staff probably acted appropriately.

A man died in their care because they refused him medical attention.

he collapsed in the arms of fellow inmates who were helping him to the restroom

Criminals cared more about this man than the bondable people put in charge of his care.

Oh, so now they get no support.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 87%. (I'm a bot)

The family of an Alabama man killed by a perforated ulcer while locked up for missing a child-support hearing has filed a federal suit alleging guards and medical staff at the jail ignored his screams of pain for a week.

Phillip David Anderson, 49, a father of four, was unable to keep down any food while he was held at the Tuscaloosa County Jail, the lawsuit charges.

He was arrested and transferred to the Tuscaloosa jail, where he vomited the first meal he ate and was unable to eat again or empty his bowels, the lawsuit says.

Reading some of the comments here makes me think posters are celebrating the evasion of child support obligations. As a family law attorney, I obtain child support orders for both mothers and fathers and it's never fun when the other parent is a deadbeat, regardless of gender. The people who suffer most are not the obligors but the children who need support. Is that what you're celebrating?

He was arrested for contempt of court, not missing child support. He didn't care enough to even show up to discuss supporting his child.

His death is the exact reason BLM exists yet you reject them and their message. What is the point of this post?
