    Mainly talks about rare instances that happen and a father ends up paying child support. Goes into different examples of these kinds of cases from other states. Also, mentions how Arizona pursue child support cases and treats them differently from custody arrangements.

    Wow...I don't agree that a female rape victim should be forced to share custody or receive child support from her assailant it should be her right as the victim. But a male victim, this is new to me. However, I agree if he is a victim she should be charged and he should have a choice. Charges should have been made against her back when it happened or they should do the math and still charge her. As for the child it's sad but if he doesn't want to be apart of her life because he wants nothing to do with his assailant, The assailant is at fault. I don't think I would want my son to have to be involved with a women who raped him because a child was conceived during her criminal act. It's sad because then the child suffers. Mixed feelings on this subject.

    This whole article is disturbing on so many levels. First of all he was 14 years old but that does not change the fact that he is a parent and has responsibilities just based on that alone. BUT if the courts are going to recognize the fact that is was a rape why do they not charge the mother? I say he takes her to court for custody and makes her pay child support. The poor child can not win either way.
  • aacastillo1222 on 03 Sep 17
     
    This is appalling. The woman should be charged. Its sad that many look away when its a male that is a rape victim. They deserve to get justice and not get charged for child support. The victim should have a say on what they want if they want to be involved or not, but I feel like they shouldn't have to deal with their rapist.

    Wow this is another disturbing article! The fact of the matter is that men alone have it very very hard when it comes to their rights as fathers. And in instances like this, even harder. The fact that he got served with papers years later is very sad. That mother clearly just wants to collect money. But what would she even tell her daughter about her dad? That she had sex with a 14 year old boy?? This is so disturbing and there should be laws in place for situations like this and for fathers in general.

    Should single people to allowed to adopt? This website fights for the equality of unmarried people and it discusses whether or not unmarried people should deserve more equal opportunity of being able to adopt a child. it explains first that there are so many children waiting to be adopted. Then the website also talks about how unmarried people actually want to adopt.

    I really do not understand why adoption agencies are refusing to adopt children out to same sex couples, or single people because if someone is going to love and provide for that child, what does it matter who they marry? The number of children who are looking for a loving family is endless, so many children need to be adopted.
  • cellina14 on 05 Sep 16
     
    If the couple is same sex or single and make the requirements to adopt then why not. There are so many children in foster care that are waiting to be adopted. It shouldn't matter a persons sexual preferance to be able to adopt as long as the couple loves and can provide for the child. It also shouldn't matter if one is single. Again as long as the person can love and provide for the child there shouldn't be a problem.
  • mat2046668 on 05 Sep 16
     
    Being married should not have any precedence over those who are not. Love is a universal concept that everyone has to offer. Women no longer need a man to provide for them, so why should one have to be married to love and care for a child? Especially if the willing parent has no issue providing the means to support the child. It is better than just leaving the child in a system that gives them no actual emotional support, which only contributes to abandonment and self-worth issues.
  • bri2209985 on 25 Jan 17
     
    Personally I think anyone who is willing to tell themselves that they want to take in a child that is not born from their blood line and care for that child as if they are then all power to them, there are too many children out there that don't have homes and are put in the system until they age out and I think equality for single people is the right thing to do.

  • bri2233341 on 03 Sep 17
     
    This article is so heartbreaking, yet it's so important for the public to be informed on this topic. The fact that most of the child pornography comes from the United States is disgusting and hard to acknowledge, but it's an important fact to understand. So many children are exploited every year, and hopefully, the more people realize this and educate and involve themselves on the subject, the likelihood of children being trafficked and exploited will decrease.

    This is a very eye opening article. It is tragic to know the United States is the main consumer of child pornography. How can this be so pervasive in our society? What can be done to stop the trafficking of such lurid content? A top priority for our government should be to eradicate child pornography in the U.S.

    This article is very eye opening to me. We often see children in other countries suffering and we want to find a way to help then.

    I knew sex trafficking is pretty much everywhere to date, but I had no idea that the United States accounts for 50% of it. This article is so sad to read because of the reality of it. There definitely needs to be a solution to all of this, you would think that with today's technology and such that we could figure out how to stop this once and for all.
  • jazmar on 04 Sep 17
     
    This is a topic that, despite its importance, remains unspoken, which is utterly tragic. It was shocking to read that the United States creates the majority of child pornography seeing as nothing is being done despite having so much power. Although this topic is difficult to discuss due to its ubiquitous and unsettling nature, it needs to be addressed and acted upon in order to be capable of abolishing it. As a country, the United States ought to openly discuss this topic and utilize its unity to end the exploitation of children.

    I believe child labor is a form of abuse. If a child is not old enough to have the mental capacity to be working, it is not fair. It is also dangerous to allow children to do many kinds of work.

    Child labor has enduring negative effects on children. Child labor results in the lack of cognitive ability, depression, poor health and lack of social development. Child labor retards a child's overall development in nearly every aspect of life.

    I also did an article about child labor and it is very heartbreaking to see what these children go through. It doesn't just keep them from going to school, but it also affects them mentally in the long run. They don't even have a childhood, just skip straight to adult responsibilities with very little knowledge of life.

    I think everyone should be able to have maternity leave because its important for the mother and father to be with their baby. I think they should also be paid while taking this time off because they still need to be able to support the child and that cant be done if they are not making money.

    My wife gave birth to our daughter back in August, she is a school teacher and it's very heartbreaking to know that current practices in the state of Arizona have defined pregnancy as a "short term disability." True there are aspects that are disabling, but the definition itself is what removes the obligation of the state to pay for leave, instead leaving woman in the education sector to pay for supplemental health care as current healthcare for public workers does not support pregnancy. At least in our case, I'm sure there are very rare exceptions.
  • jaz2153385 on 30 Jan 18
     
    The U.S. needs to recognize that mothers need way more time than they actually get for maternity leave! Giving birth is such a beautiful but extremely painful and tiring/draining thing that women need time to recuperate from.

    I believe in maternity leave in just about any work place. The mother gets it rough and the thought of not getting paid maternity leave just stinks. I also believe that husbands should get maternity leave. Like, what if the mother has a higher paid job, and it is the dad that stays home?

    I think the author made a very important comment by saying, "The mother's mental and physical health can be an important route through which infants are affected by parents' employment decisions." I totally agree with this. How can we ignore our health after having a baby. I have 5 children and I was fortunate enough to not have to work. I was able to stay home and heal, and most importantly bond with my baby. I recovered well post child birth, and I was able to be the best mother I could be to my children.

    This is a huge social injustice towards the mothers who have just given birth. Making maternity leave as a paid family leave is wrong because the mothers have to later make up all the time they took off to care for their newborn, which can be months.

    I think new moms definitely get the shaft when it comes to maternity leave.

    It's truly heartbreaking to think about the struggles that many mothers have to face. They were just introduced to motherhood and already have to worry about not being able to have the time or money that is deserved. Most of all, the time needed to recover post birth.
  • seanburns89 on 02 Sep 19
     
    I think that maternity leave is vitally important for a mother and her child. However, what about fathers the child is just as much theirs yet little to no maternity leave is given. Usually if they take the time off for the birth of the child it comes out of their paid time off if they would like an extended amount of time.
  • dev2154967 on 03 Sep 19
     
    The United States definitely falls behind compared to most modernized countries in-regards to this. The fact that studies show much higher results for emotional bonding between parents, and the retention of employees for the company they're employed for, when giving maternal/paternal leave. I understand the reason why it's difficult for many American businesses to be competitive to some European industries that can have months off at a time for this, but even a couple paid weeks may make all the difference at a minimum for both parents, to adapt, and prepare for their new schedule/lives.
  • smileyamber08 on 03 Sep 19
     
    I feel like every women should be guaranteed paid maternity leave. The government constantly wants us to re produce to keep the world going, so they should encourage women that they'll be fine with money and won't have to worry about missing work.
  • and2181940 on 03 Sep 19
     
    Maternity leave should be a MUST. Pregnancy is tough and the delivery is life changing. Mother's go through all different kinds of changes. It is unfair for a mother to have to go through these changes all while worrying about having to go to work and missing and wondering how her child might be doing.

    A child's weight is their own weight meaning only they can be the ones to properly exercise to have the correct weight. The only way to prevent childhood obesity is based off of the responsibility of the child. The prevention is known to be a struggle especially because exposure to unhealthy foods are everywhere.

    The article indicates that the issue with our society and how it relates to childhood obesity is in how we treat the issue, as a separate entity from all other health issues wherein the child and family receive support and resources on how to help prevent and treat their ailment. In America a child faced with Obesity is treated with distain despite the fact that the food and lifestyle pushed at them in every facet of their life is unhealthy and ultimately results in obesity and the article clearly aims to show the reader that the way in which we shift blame should reflect back at societies stigmatization rather than blame the child. How did you conclude that the child is solely responsible for their own obesity from reading the article?
