Warning – not Porsche related, but on topic…

Fact: After 5 years my wife left me - with my 4-year-old son. Losing your wife, child, home or income are terrible singly, the combination is devastating. As the years went by I learned that my ex-wife was living in squalor – she had 6 dogs in the house, allowed them to pee and crap all over the house and never cleaned it up (for months, years, at a time – this is one of those “trash house” stories you see occasionally on TV). The whole house stunk like a sewer. Twice I called “Child Protection” – both times they made an appointment to check out her house weeks later. Each time she got help from her parents to clean up the mess before they arrived, and I received letters that “Child Protection” had “investigated” and found no problems. The third time I learned the house was full of dog pee and crap again, the water heater had been non-functioning for 6 months, and the toilet was broken for months - would not flush and full of $hit, and my child had to pee in a sink or “hold it” until he got to school. This time I was a man on a mission – I contacted a friend at a local TV station and arranged for them to stand-by. I called, faxed, and mailed a description of the problem to “Child Protection”. I told them what happened with my prior concerns, and that they must respond this time or TV crews would be at her door and theirs the next day. They responded immediately, interviewed my son, and found “evidence of child abuse and neglect”. I picked up my son that evening, obtained sole custody (6 months and thousands in legal costs, but worth it!), and he has lived with me ever since.

Conclusion: “Child Protection” is basically ex-wife protection. They are staffed with left wing feminists that will do anything to ensure that mom gets her child support. They don’t give a damn about the kids. The only thing they care about more than feminism is their cushy government jobs. That is the only tool that good dads have to ensure their children are cared for.

Thanks, I feel much better now!
