CHILD SUPPORT IS FOR POOR CHILDREN NOT THE STATE

  IF THIS WAS ABOUT EMA OR SEBASTAIN, IT WOULD GARNER PUBLIC OUTRAGE.

AMERICANS WOULD NOT EVEN DREAM OF STANDING SILENT WHILE MONEY WAS

BEING STOLEN FROM CHILDREN.  HAS OUR HATRED OF THE POOR MADE US SO

JADED THAT IT NO LONGER MATTERS THAT IT AFFECTS THE BABIES? IS IT EASIER

TO HATE THEM FOR BEING POOR THAN ADMIT THAT WE ARE THE PROBLEM OR

SOLUTION?  IF THIS WAS ANY OTHER GROUP OF CHILDREN, AMERICANS WOULD

BE MARCHING IN THE STREETS TO PROTECT OUR YOUNGEST CITIZENS.  NO ONE

MARCHES FOR THE POOR NOT EVEN THE CHILDREN.  NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE THAT

SOME OF THE POVERTY THAT THEY ARE IN IS CAUSED BY GREED OF THE GOVERN-

MENT.  NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE THAT THE GOVERNMENT HAS MADE BEING POOR

A CHARACTER FLAW INSTEAD OF AN ECONOMIC CONDITION THAT IS CAUSED BY

GREED.  THE STORY OF PEOPLE LIVING OFF WELFARE MAKES US NOT WORRY

ABOUT THE BILLIONS BEING STOLEN FROM US EVERY DAY BY BIG BANKS AND

CORPORATIONS THAT BUY OUR LAWS AND THE SYSTEM THAT GOVERNS IT.  WE

WOULD RATHER BLAME THE VICTIMS OF A SYSTEM THAT IS DESIGNED TO BENEFIT

THE MINORITY OF THE WEALTHY THAN THE MAJORITY OF THE POOR.






NC CHILD SUPPORT IS STEALING MONEY FROM THE CHILDREN ALREADY LIVING IN POVERTY.  THEY ROUTINELY TELL TANF/WORKFIRST/WELFARE RECIPIENTS THAT THEY HAVE TO SIGN OVER THEIR RIGHTS TO CHILD SUPPORT TO THE STATE.  WHAT THEY DONT TELL IS THAT THE STATE CAN ONLY KEEP WHAT THEY ACTUALLY PAY FOR PUBLIC ASSISTANCE BY LAW.

.ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

As a condition of eligibility for Work First, the applicant/recipient must assign to the state the "rights to support" from any other person on his/her own behalf, or on behalf of any other family member for whom the applicant/recipient is applying for or receiving assistance. G.S. 110-137 accomplishes an automatic assignment of rights of child support for recipients of Work First for or on behalf of a dependent child up to the amount of WFFA/TANF paid.
