                             SUBJECT: Abusing the CHILD SUPPORT SYSTEM

 

                The model for our Second Session is provided by a mother who requested Child Support for her 20 year old son whom she was not supporting and against his wishes.

                 The mother, who drives a $711/month leased car and exhibits fine jewelery with every move of her extremities had treated her son with the same kind of respect and consideration as one grants a lawn mower. What is really remarkable is that a Court of Law assisted this mother in continuing to treat her son as an inanimate object.

                Do not feel restricted by our model. We will gladly add to our collection any story of a PARENT USING THE CHILD SUPPORT SYSTEM TO ABUDSE A CHILD or of a JUDICIAL ENTITY assisting abuse and our awards committee will gladly assess any portrayal of the above that you may want to enter.

 

First SESSION

For our first SESSION, we invited cartoons depicting either the wasteful, useless procrastination perpetrated or condoned by Family Court Officers and/or the resulting suffering of the subjected children or parents.. We still accept submissions with that SUBJECT: DISASTROUS PROCRASTINATION IN FAMILY COURT.

The model for our First Session was provided by Magistrate Patricia Bannon of the Nassau County Family Court who took 16 (SIXTEEN) months to figure out that according to the "NOTION OF EQUITY" one cannot ask for money in the name of supporting a 20 year old child against his own wishes.

Every two months, we will reward the best cartoon - as described in the

CARTOON COMPETITION FLYER and in our EVENTS page. 

 

 

 

INSPIRATION: There is a point after which art rather than logical discourse and pictures rather than paragraphs are the better and maybe even the only means to truly express what one feels. We are probably past that point

Marjorie, 11 year old girl from Texas who is a victim of punishing rulings by a ruthless Family Court has spontaneously drawn some very impressive cartoons.

We felt that her drawings expressed our sorrow better than any sentences we could think of, so we asked her to draw some more.

She obliged.
