and how is this enforced? permanent condom installation? and what would the penalty be if he got another woman pregnant? seems kinda like a dumb sentence to me.Gimli 1993

I'm sure if he gets a woman pregnant his probabtion is revoked and he goes to prison. Much like when other stipulations of probation are violated.0 -
Dumb question, but is failure to pay child support a criminal or civil issue? I mean, can you a person be sent to prison for not paying?
I really don't want the government into reproductive matters, but there really isn't an effective way to curb this. Sending deadbeats to prison in theory keeps them from reproducing, but it probably costs more to tax payers than just paying for their kids.
I know there is that shot that women can take every 3 months for birth control, they need a men's version of that as well, and I'd be ok with that measure as part of a probation sentence for dads or mothers with crazy numbers of kids who can't support them.My whole life

Since he was given probabtion I would assume it's a criminal offense.0 -

I wonder about the enforcement too. Why is this guy even ON probation? Fucking over your children is not a petty crime...or is it actually considered such these days?
(and fer fuck's sake - no pun intended - women who are going to get it on with Mr. Curtis, do your part as well!)0 -

But the government deciding who can and can't have a child is a pretty big interaction.0 -

Isn't it a bigger interaction if he were in prison instead of probation? Everyday in prison his life is mandated by correction officers and while in prison definitely couldn't have a child unless he performed some medical miracle with a male inmate.0 -

There are irresponsible people on both sides of creating the child - excuse me, the children - all nine of them.
(holy shit)
I really have no idea how this could/should etc. be handled, made better for the next to follow this idiot's path...because I think there's a sad long line of them.
Reminds me of Octomom, in a way.

I believe the judge is trying his best to nip it in the bud. He's got 9 kids and isn't supporting them. So then where does the responsibility fall at that point? It falls on the women and/or John Q Taxpayer. Why allow this guy to keep having children when he's already proven multiple times he can't or won't support the ones he has?0 -
I don't know. regardless of the circumstances, seems like infringing on a pretty basic human right to say you can't procreate, no?Gimli 1993

I guess the judge could have just thrown him in prison. Same result but actually less rights for this jerkoff and more taxpayer money spent. Yes/no?0 -

I can honestly say I don't have an answer for how this should be handled. I mean, throwing a guy in jail for not paying child support, so as you mentioned, the tax payer now pays for his living expenses? that makes no sense. but how can you take away a person's natural human right? I mean, of all the natural things we as humans do, that's in the top 5. How can you force someone to abstain, legally?Gimli 1993

What about the rights of the 9 children he fathered and chooses not to support? What about the 6 mothers? Tax payers rights? Why allow him to create more issues when it's obvious he either can't or won't handle his "rights"? I liken it to a credit card situation. The banks will give you a credit card but will cut you off when you stop paying. No more credit cards for that person.
Bottom line is the guy is not holding up to his end of his responsibility as a father....legally. I honestly think the judge is cutting him a break by allowing the plea bargain down to probation with this stipulation...as I'm sure there are other stips as well. I would have thrown his ass in prison personally. Takne away all of his rights at that point.0
