66% of the men who are labeled "Deadbeat Dads" are men who can't pay child support because they are incapable of paying. Because of this they are throw in jail.
So very sad, there is so many men who don't want anything to do with their kids and they don't pay child support or anything. But good men like Reginald always go thru the BS
I have not seen my son in 10 year i no what you are going through good luck .dont try to get threw dss they dont care all they is $$$$$$$$$$$$$ you no what i mean
I went through a similar situation; being prevented from seeing my daughter. It was the most distressing period of my life.
Good luck with your life's work, Reginald. You have sensible, humane people rooting for you.
It is a shame that you have to go through this. It is a shame that many fathers have to go through this. Vindictive women like this are going to get what they deserve. She will get her day one day. Just let him see his son!
Many children who are unfortunate to share a relationship with their biolagical parents because of lack of maturity. In this case you have a father who wants to be part of his child's life. This is a crime towards the child. The child should be albe to share that bond w/ his father.
This is disgraceful! So many men out there don't act like real men and ignore their children (whether they see them or not). Reggie is a real man and should be allowed to see his son. So often we hear that having a father in one's life is very important, so why is the state keeping Donovan from having his real father in his life. I really hope this law changes soon.
Speaking especially as a black male and father, I cannot even begin to fathom being separated from my daughter.I think it's shameful that any mother would do this. I hope I am on the right side of history in my support of Reginald Finley, because I wholeheartedly support family stability and structure.Thanks,
I agree with you I had a friend in Port Huron who was going through a similar situation. I think these laws should be updated to include disabilities too he was taken away from 2 children because of his "disability" and the courts know where the child is but refuse to tell him. He is black and the mother is white and the family will not let him see his children because both he is black and his disability plus he is more than capable of living on his own cause but they put him in a group home. Its just sick how the government and religions want to control his life. I am pagan but I still think the world would be a better place without this kind of stuff. Just wanted to bring this to anyones attention that read this.
I support this father in his endeavor to be involved in his child's life. As citizen's we must uphold parental rights equally for mothers as well as fathers--no exceptions...no excuses.
This is really wrong, no one should have to go through this. I really hope you get your son back. I get to see my dad every weekend even though him and my mom are separated.
My father wanted nothing to do with me because i was a girl.
Here is a man who wants to be in his childs life, and is not being aloud to that is WRONG. let this man see his child.
I have two sisters who both have ex-husbands who don't even WANT to see their kids. And I myself have a father who dosn't want to see me. So for that childs sake and the respect I have for you and what you do and represent you have my total support. I wish there was more I could do.
Please help Reginald Finley get reunited with his son Donovan.
