summary: in the essay "forgotten children" Cassandra J. talks about how its unfair that a man can have a child with a woman and then just leave her. For her to have to provide for that child all by them self. She also talks about how is so hard for a mo to get child support from the father and eventually the mom gives up on the system and just dose what she has to for her child. The biggest point she wanted to make in this essay is that fathers get away way to easy. In the matter that the father can basically talk there way out of child support and end up not having to pay the mom for what ever reason they have. Cassandra just wants for stricter laws when it comes to fathers and child support

response: I totally agree with this essay. I think fathers get off way to easy now days. It shouldn't be so easy for a man or a woman to create a child and then not contribute at all to the child. To just leave a parent hanging with a child to support all by them self is not fair to that parent and definitely not fair to the child. I also agree that the government should be more strict with getting child support from the absent parent and a little more easier on the parent trying to get the child support.
