This Dad Puts the Dead in Dead Beat!

I have sat here for about an hour staring at this blank screen trying to decide if I should post what I am about  to post and then I looked over at my daughter, my daughter who deserves only the best in life, my daughter who doesn’t deserve the piece of shit father she has, my daughter whose voice is still too small to be heard, and then I knew in that moment that if no one else was going to advocate on her behalf then I was no matter who didn’t like it!
In truth this post has been a long time coming, but the words seemed to  be caught somewhere between what I knew I should say and what was too much…tonight nothing is off limits, I’m telling it like it is…no holds barred. 
Long story short, my oldest daughter’s father is a dead beat dad in every sense of the word.  He sees her a handful of times throughout the year (even though he lives about 30 minutes away), he never calls to check on her, he doesn’t buy her school clothes or shoes or supplies or anything else, and he doesn’t pay child support.  As a matter of fact, at the moment he owes his daughter over $17,000.00 in support that he never pays (his last payment was 3 years ago).  He has failed to appear at his court dates more times than I can count, bench warrants for his arrest have been issued more times than I can count, he’s been in jail (for non-payment) more times than I can count, he has been indicted by the grand jury for felony non-support, he has been arrested for the felony warrant and then released (with a warning to pay his child support or go back to jail )so that he could spend time with his family without paying a single penny of what he owed, he has dodged court appearance after court appearance, he has done everything humanly possible to avoid a.) paying his child support and b.) being put in jail as a result of not paying his child support.
At the moment he has an active felony warrant (which was issued 5/15/2009).  He lives in a different county than I do so not only is it impossible to get the police in my county to give a damn it’s even more impossible to get the police officers in his county to care.  I have been doing the job of law enforcement, I have been calling child support on a weekly basis for updates, I have been contacting this county’s sheriff's office and that county’s sheriff's office to tell them where he lives and what he drives, I have called the sheriff's office here and in his county to tell then when and where he will be at a given time and what happens…NOTHING!  And I am tired of it.  I feel like I am fighting a losing battle, a battle that is not designed for me to win! 
The last straw (and the reason for this post) came yesterday when not 1 or 2, but 5 different law enforcement agencies could have picked him up, but didn’t.  I spent 4 hours on the phone and spoke with countless deputies, dispatchers, and policemen and it was for nothing…absolutely nothing.  As I type this he is probably sitting at his mom and dads house (oh did I mention the part where he is 32 lives at home with mommy and daddy, has never had a real job in his life, AND he’s a drug addict and alcoholic…hmm must have forgot to mention that) drinking or getting high and he’s probably laughing at the police for their very unsuccessful capture.  To be honest I’m kinda laughing at them too because I’m embarrassed for them!
It makes me sick to my stomach to know that I am not the only mother out there fighting this fight and that my daughter is not the only child dealing with a sorry excuse for a father.  But after that last phone call I decided to do something, I decided to make sure that I did EVERYTHING possible to make his life HELL, everything possible to make it hard for him to sit on his front porch or go to the grocery store.  That’s when I decided to plaster his picture all across my blog and Facebook and Twitter in the hope that he sees it or someone who knows him sees it and he gets arrested! 

So here' ya go Billy…your 15 minutes of fame…may you get arrested and rot in jail!  You know that thing they say about a woman scorned…well it’s true, but if you mess with that woman’s child you’re just FUCKED!
