Man Pays For County Mistake

by Pete Shellem - November 16th, 2008 - Patriot-News

When Walter Andre Sharpe Jr. signed for a certified letter from Dauphin County Domestic Relations in 2001, he didn't know he was signing on for a seven-year nightmare.

Since then, the Philadelphia man has been thrown in jail four times, lost his job, become estranged from his four children and spent more than $12,000 to support the child of another man.

It finally stopped in May 2007 when a judge reversed a finding that he was the father.

But the same judge has since ruled that Sharpe is not entitled to any compensation, not even the money he was forced to pay to support the child.

Sharpe's attorney, Tabetha Tanner, said the county Domestic Relations office "stole" Sharpe's identity by exchanging his date of birth, address and Social Security number for that of the father.

The agency fought Sharpe's attempts to have DNA testing and said it determined he was the father "after reasonable investigation."

Yet it took The Patriot-News less than an hour to track down the real father ...

Welcome to the real world of a court system that sides openly with the corrupt tyrants of our increasingly arrogant system of socialist bureaucrats. If you wonder how bad it is going to get under the increased socialism of the Magic Marxist Messiah, just read this article. This is not just the fault of the County Bureaucrats who knowingly changed the identity of a father in order to make a man pay for another man's child. This is the fault of a court system dominated by tyrannical judges who are indifferent to injustice.

The really outrageous issue is described in the article when it says that research proves the real father had the child since he was one year old. In other words, the bureacrats were collecting from the wrong person for something that government was not responsible for paying. How incompetent can a bureacrat get. Government is not responsible for paying for a child because the real father who they say must pay to raise the child has the child and is paying for his upkeep. At the same time they are destroying the life of a different person who they fraudulently pursued for the money they should not have paid. By the way. The judge says he cannot do anything to correct this injustice. Insanity.

This is how bureaucrats destroy lives. This is how indifferent the courts are to that tyranny and how they collaborate in making it happen. This is how evil socialism really is. And the American people have voluntarily voted to abandon their freedom and become a socialist nation? What a nation of idiots we must be.
