The same task force that has proposed a one-time payment of five million dollars for each black resident of California, now wants the child support debt of those residents eliminated. Is there a more stunning indictment of the neglect, disregard and contempt the far-left has for family and children? That so-called black leadership would join this despicable action speaks to where their loyalties truly lie.
Who speaks for black single moms? Who speaks for their children? This is an abomination.
California Reparations Task Force calls for eliminating child support debt for black residents
By Brandon Gillespie, NY Post, July 4, 2023:
ADVERTISEMENTThe California Reparations Task Force is asking the Democrat-controlled state legislature to eliminate interest on past-due child support, as well as any back child support debt for black residents of the state.
In its final report released last week, the group claimed “discriminatory” laws “have torn African American families apart,” and that one effect of that is the “harms” caused by “the disproportionate amount of African Americans who are burdened with child support debt.”
The nearly 1,100-page document stated that black Californians represent a larger percentage of those who owe child support debt than their proportion of the state’s population.
It also claimed the 10% interest the state charges on back child support “hinders” their ability to finance further education, attend job training, find employment and maintain housing because of the legal consequences of not paying such debt.
The report cited a 2003 California Department of Child Support Services study that estimated 27% of owed child support in the state was unpaid interest, that those who owed child support had lower incomes than “the typical California worker” and that such interest required a larger portion of their income to actually pay the debt

“The Task Force further recommends that the Legislature amend Family Code section 17560, the ‘offers in compromise’ provision, to allow for offers in compromise and forgiveness of child support debt based solely on a parent’s financial (sic) circumstances and ability to pay,” it added.
