ST. LOUIS CITY & COUNTY FAMILY SUPPORT DIVISIONMissouri Department of Social Services The St. Louis City & County Family Support Division has been included on the list for precipating a quaddruple murder and suicide in the case of Herbert Chalmers, a man who was persecuted by this agency and went on homicidal rampage after this agency wrongly calculating his child support. Mr. Chalmers' child-support payments ballooned from $362 per month to $675 within 3 years due to the actions of this agency. The agency then garnished his salary, reducing his income to $200 a week. A distraught Mr. Chalmers allegedly told people that he was being pressed into utter poverty and could no longer survive, and warned that his mental health was on the verge of collapse. Shortly after this, Mr. Chalmers entered his place of employment and shot down four people before taking his own life.

ALL COUNTIESState of New Hampshire The state of New Hampshire's Division of Child Support Services makes the list for its role in the killing of non-custodial parent Brian Armstrong and the shakedown of his family as he lay dying. In 2000, the division set the stage for Brian's arrest by insisting on payment for child support arrears although he was suffering from alcholism and unable to meet payments; his job at a fast food restaurant barely made ends meet. While guards at the Valley Street Jail in Nashua allegedly beat him to death, the division allegedly telephoned the victim's family to demand child support arrears in the amount of $4000 as a ransom for his release. Published reports further allege that when the division learned that Mr. Armstrong had been grievously wounded, the division suspiciously dropped its arrears demands, first to $2000, then to $1000. See our Avenger Project page for more info about the Brian Armstrong case and our campaign for justice.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY10 Corporate Place South 3rd Floor Middlesex County Child Services makes our list of most abusive agencies for its role in the death of divorced father and father's rights activist Wilbur Streett. Mr. Streett was a resident of Hazlet in Middlesex County who suffered from Lou Gehrig's disease. Despite his medical condition and his inability to work, the county pressed child support collection by arresting Mr. Streett on several occassions and in one instance hw was severley beaten by police. This repeated and ruthless persecution by Middlesex County eventually led to Mr. Streett's death in 2004, who died one day after being released from police custody after yet another arrest. Middlesex authorities claim that the death was related to Lou Gehrig's disease and that Mr. Streett had refused treatment in custody, yet the case remains highly suspicious. See our Avenger Project page for more info about the Wilbur Streett case and our campaign for justice.

Complainant says that this agency took no interest in the whereabouts of his children or their welfare, even after he reported that they were sleeping on the floor of a home belonging to a relative of the custodial mother. Complainant further alleges that one of his children was reported missing abroad since 2006; complainant states that this agency is still pursuing payments for this child. #2 - Complaint dates back to the 1990s. Complainant was a 19-year-old college-bound student who had a child as a result of a relationship with a 27-year-old female family law attorney. Complainant alleges that a case worker, a Ms. Mechanic, acted with clear bias in favor of the attorney/custodial mother during a support hearing. Complainant says that Ms. Mechanic ignored the fact that the custodial mother was using her knowledge as an attorney to deny him visitation with his child without cause, and that this case worker became verbally abusive and threatening. Complainant further states that this agency refused to work with him to establish a realistic child support plan while he was a student, and that this agency destroyed his credit rating and seized funds from bank accounts necessary for basic survival, thereby making it impossible for him to obtain employment or to hold onto an apartment. Complaint alleges that the abuse continues to this day, with the agency refusing to make any kind of payment plan for arrears and at the same time denying him a driver's licence and a passport (and severly limiting opportunities for gainful employment which would allow him to pay off his debt). Complainant states that he is now married and has a child with a woman who is a foreign national, and that the passport seizure is impacting upon the life of his new child because his family is unable to leave the country together to visit relatives abroad. Complainant states that this agency was made aware of his family's situation, and that this agency told his attorney "it does not care about the second child" Complaint also alleges that this agency also refuses to state in writing why it is refusing to make any sort of a payment plan even though the attorney/custodial mother is in a superior financial position.
ULSTER COUNTYUlster County Child Support Enforcement Unit Since April 2008, Ulster County's Child Support Enforcement Unit, in connection with the county's sheriff, has been arresting non-custodial parents for being as low as $50 dollars in arrears. Because of this draconian policy, which makes no exception for joblessness or health issues in the midst of an ongoing financial crisis, this agency has made our list. Send tips about Ulster County's child support agency, or report your own experience of abuse with this agency. Submit more photos, scanned newspaper clips, or links to other media. BUTLER COUNTYChild Support Enforcement The Butler County Child Enforcement Agency wins its place on this list for its distribution of wanted posters on "pizza boxes" seeking the arrest of divorced fathers and other non-custodial parents who are in arrears of child support. The project is the brainchild of the agency's director, Cynthia Brown, who is now appearing on a wanted poster of her own (see our Alternate Wanted Poster Campaign for Butler County). NCPForce! is now accepting photos of Cynthia Brown and her co-workers for our alternate wanted poster campaign. Photos files and links to online photo/videos can be sent to agency@ncpforce.com. HAMILTON COUNTYDepartment of Job and Family Service and 800 Broadway St Telephone: 513-946-1000 Ohio's Hamilton Department of Job and Family Services has earned a place on our list for its distribution of wanted posters seeking the arrest of divorced fathers and other non-custodial parents despite a federal ban on debtor's prisons. This government agency also promotes hate against father's and non-custodial parents through the use of hate speech term "deadbeat" on its publications. Please see our Alternate Wanted Poster for distribution in Hamilton County. As part of our poster campaign against this agency and government of oppression of fathers and non-custodial parents, we are seeking photos of this agency's employees for placement on a wanted poster of our own. Submit photos, scanned newspaper clips, or links to other media. Send tips about Hamilton County Job and Family Services, or report your own experience of abuse with this agency.
ALL COUNTIESOklahoma Child Support Services Oklahoma Child Suppot Services earns its place on this list for its policy of more than doubling child support payments on unemployed non-custodial parents and for threatening the indiscriminate arrest of parents facing arrears as a means of blackmailing state legislators not to reduce its budget. On April 18th, 2010, the agency's program director Jeff Wagner http://newsok.com/article/3454783told the Daily Oklahoman that child support collections on the state's unemployed went up 57% in the past year and that any cuts to its budget would result in the loss of a court liaison, which helps people establish payment plans before warrants are issued for the arrest of non-custodial parents.

ABOUT NCP FORCE! (Non-Custodial Parents Force) Our organization is a non-profit, grassroots action organization dedicated to reforming America's family law system. While we frequently refer to divorced fathers, who overwhelmingly bear the brunt of abuses in the family law system, we champion the cause of all non-custodial parents, be they unwed fathers, non-custodial mothers, grandparents, or assigned parentage fathers (men who are held responsible for parentage despite the fact that they are not biological fathers). Unlike many other family law websites which claim to help divorced dads and NCP's, we will never ask our visitors for money or donations. We also do not charge for, or offer legal services. Instead we provide a virtual base of operations, forum, and information clearing house for visitors to help themselves free of charge. Learn more about joining the NCP Force! It's free and no personal questions will be asked unless you wish to share your family law experiences with us. |
