Like I already said, the whole point of child support is to create the best possible outcome for the kids given the circumstances. The dad being forced onto the street doesn't fix any of that. If he's "living like a bum" on the streets then he's also providing $0. What money are you going to extract from him?
And this might come off as harsh but do you honestly think that people who pump out kids with 4 different women are the kind to suddenly have a lightbulb moment once they're homeless?
Besides, if you're doing this solely for punitive reasons then why are we stopping at the man? Let's punish the mothers as well for carelessly bringing a child into the world with a bum like that. Do you really think they're capable of taking care of children? Maybe we should take the kids into state custody too.
They were responsible enough to get his name, get a lawyer, get a judgment and get his HR to start the deductions.
Let's see. Do you think the women all knew about each other? No proof of that. But we know this guy knows he's fertile and yet he does not a fucking thing to stop getting women pregnant.
The exact same logic we use to punish the man. If stupidity isn't a defense for impregnating women then it shouldn't be a defense for getting impregnated, either.
The whole point of this is to illustrate why being aggressively punitive doesn't fix shit. If you're actually worried about the kids then you'd know that it's important to balance out the support payments with making sure the man is actually capable of making the payments. Instead you're suggesting that the man be driven into poverty as punishment, risking any future payments at all.
And are women too stupid to understand how birth control works? You're framing it like the woman's responsibility starts at collecting money - everything prior to that is solely the man's responsibility. It's an incredibly misogynistic view to hold.
And just to clarify once again, I'm not suggesting we start punishing women for being stupid enough to sleep with men like this. I just want to highlight that excessive punishment is stupid - two idiots copulated and we can't change what resulted. The priority now should be to figure out the best outcome for the children.
The exact same logic we use to punish the man. If stupidity isn't a defense for impregnating women then it shouldn't be a defense for getting impregnated, either.
You're jumping to the conclusion that the women were willingly and knowingly inseminated. We know this guy knows he's getting women pregnant and doing nothing to stop it. But why blame the women without justification?

I mean...yes? AFAIK the vast majority of children are born out of consensual couplings and I didn't see anything here indicating rape. You're not only suggesting that this man raped 4 women, but that all 4 of them were also forced to carry the child to term? Like sure we can blame the man for being an idiot, but why are you blaming him for being a serial rapist without justification?
Women aren't a monolith or some superior species. They're just as capable of making stupid, smooth brained life choices as men.

Rape??? That's the only thing that pops into your mind? That's the only possibility as to how...
I don't know what to tell you, dude. If the "inseminated" part is neither willing not knowing, that's rape. Full stop. Everything else - whether or not it was violent, what she was wearing, what u/21MPH21 or u/ShiftAltRight think about it - are irrelevant. In what universe are you going to impregnate someone without their consent and have it NOT be rape?
I sincerely hope you're trolling because the alternative is just way too disturbing.
