Fathering Court:A Good Way To Enforce Good Parenting

Fathering Court programme is a new way a Washington
D.C. Superior Court is enforcing good parenting on the
part of fathers who are behaving badly.

A news item from MyFox news reports that the father
who are trying to escape paying their children's upkeep
allowance are now being forced to carry out their parenting
responsibility.

This is what one of the judges that have been enforcing the
good parenting ideas have to say:

"For those folks that don't want to pay and aren't going to pay,
jail's the right place to put 'em," says the judge. "But for folks
that are trying and [who] need a helping hand... there's another
approach."

One of the culprits who have been helped by the Fathering Court
remarked thus:

"It's getting you ready for the workforce again.Waking up, if you're
not used to waking up. Getting up. Getting dressed. Going to work
with your suit and tie on."

Another one was reported to have spoken this way about the project:

"It showed me how to be a better parents, a better father to my kids.
How to be patient... how to interact with them."

What else is better than this?

Let me know what yopu feel about the Fathering Court project of the
Washington D.C. United States of America.

Don't you feel it should be practised in other states of the U.S.A. and
other countries too?

Happy Parenting...
