How does that help the child that needs support?

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

It doesn't. Our criminal justice system is really just a punishment system. Whenever this guy gets out of prison, he'll have his wages garnished and the money that he owes will be paid back. It doesn't help the kid now.

Assuming he doesn't get sent back to prison.
