A Word from Attorney General Charlie Condon:
Many people have emphasized the economic hardships South Carolina families have suffered because of "Deadbeat Parents." Others have noted the additional burden the State's taxpayers have been forced to shoulder. Both of these points are right on target. I can only add that the minimum debt an able-bodied father owes his children is a roof over their heads, clothes on their backs, and food on their plates. Any father who can meet that minimal financial obligation and fails to do so is beneath contempt. We can't compensate for the birthday presents that never arrived, the school plays and Little League games missed, the bedtime stories left untold. But we can insist that Deadbeat Parents help pay the food and doctor bills.
I urge you to look at the pictures on this page, memorize the faces of these men -- who have wilfully abandoned their children -- and report any sightings to the following toll-free number: 1-800-768-5858.
