Media Tries to Hide Ohio Class-Action Lawsuit Against Overpayment

Big money owns big media. And big media only tells you what big money wants you to know. And as big money is ever more for the suppression of human and civil rights, big media will not tell you when people are fighting back against the system.

And so it goes that big mainstream media has been trying to squash a story of very big interest to non-custodial parents: that a class-action lawsuit is underway in the state of Ohio against zealous, overcollection of child support.

A reader recently tipped us off to this story and sent us this link where you can read all about the Ohio lawsuit:

In a nutshell: child support agencies in the state of Ohio are collecting from non-custodial parents much more money than is actually owed. These agencies coerce parents to overpay by holding the threat of debtor's prisons over their heads, then they keep the money in state funds without ever informing parents that they actually have credit on their accounts.

Ohio, by the way, is a state which has in recent years found new and dehumanizing ways to collect child support from non-custodial parents such as by distributing wanted posters of non-custodial parents with arrears on pizza boxes. See http://www.ncpforce.com/campaigns/altwanted.html

Now we must all wonder whether any of those poor parents pictured on those boxes actually owed they amounts they were being shaken down for.

All in all, this is a pretty good example of how petty civil servants are allowed to run amok in this country, using the tools provided to them by government to terrorize citizens who ought to be protected from bureaucratic abuses under our Constitution. The combination of civil servants without oversight, Draconian laws, debtor's prisons, and an apathetic media that promotes that hate of non-custodial parents is a toxic combination -- so toxic, in fact, it has already spilled over from the realm of family law to spread harm among the general populace.

The class-action lawsuit is the best line of defense against this trend, which is why it must be used more often. And this is why the mainstream media doesn't want you to know about this story.
