There’s no reason to keep her name a secret! She had no hesitation giving his name!
The man's name is always dragged around and left for the public to see. The woman's name is always hidden.
Maybe it's just a mistake? Smith is the most common name in the country
@@thecounselingcouch68 always? Please stop it.
It is hard to believe a mistake happened in the naming especially the first name and middle which are extremely uncommon… it really seems intentional
facts!!!!!!
No penalty for lying but yet She lied on a official court document that put an innocent person's life in jeopardy.
The child support laws need changing. Claiming a man is a father to a child with no proof, should be a crime.
Keep it in your pants
Stop mounting everything
CLAIMING shouldn't be the crime, FALSIFYING should be the crime.
There should be a letter of proof to start the whole process with DNA.
You don't want to punish mothers for getting the information wrong but i fully agree that punishment is deserving for those willing to lie and abuse the system for their own gain.
@@silentmajority8365 goofy she don't even him lol did you not watch the story
@@gmc_productionz8645 Yup. This man did keep it in his pants, and this dishusting woman lied on him!
@@silentmajority8365 you hurt hurt 🤣
Terrible! Thank goodness for DNA testing. Back in the 70s, a young lady called me on the phone. She said that she’d just come back from the doctor’s office and she’d learned that she was pregnant. I asked her, who was the father. She became very indignant and answered that I was the father and it couldn’t have been anyone else. I then chose my words very carefully. I didn’t mention months but I asked her how far gone was she. She told me that she was two months pregnant. I then said: “Do you realize that I’ve only known you for nine days?” True story.
That story is hilarious!!
These women are terrible!
I'm so sorry this happened to you, but I laughed so loud, forgive me 🙏🤣😂
Got emm!!!!!😂
I can't stop laughing 😂
This women, and all women that do this should be CHARGED!!!! This is Shameful!!
NAH Its ironic you are the same ones that demanded the state get involved with your bedroom
Yes they should be charged. These rat ball woman need to be held accountable
@Sasha Sinclaires- Did it every occur to you that this man might have the same name as the man who the woman claims is the father?
@@purpleiris6489 thats BS. It that was the case she would've came forward as soon as she saw him on the news. She knew she was lying
@@jondoe406 Truth
We reside in CT. My spouse received the exact same letter fro Detroit approximately 15 years ago. A warrant was issued from Detroit in his name. They picked his name based on the woman’s recognition. Spouse had to give DNA in CT to prove he wasn’t the father of these two children. He never met woman nor has been to Detroit! We keep the letter because for two years his IRS refund was delayed. Friend of the court should be sued!!
Sorry this happened to your spouse. It has me wondering if someone in the Wayne County Friend of the Court make these accusations to receive a payout to get paid at someone else's expense.
@@leeleea4164 you feel sorry for his spouse feel sorry for him.
That is horrible
Sue sue
Sutton? We not Kin are we? Jk I'm from CT too
She had to name a father to get benefits from the state and didn't know who he was... Happens all the time 🤦♂️
But they never met
@@AB-lv6dy That's the point. She didn't know who the father was, and made up one. Just so happens to be this guy
Exactly. The SYSTEM forces this kind of thing. That's why there's no legislation to prevent it. It's not fraud. It's how the system abuses both black men and women.
The problem, imo, is with the state. As you said, in order for her to get benefits, she had to supply a name. I don't know wasn't going to get her benefits because the state would think she was covering someone. Unfortunately, the name she came up with pointed to him. (Mr. Smith)
Sad as hell 😢
I gave birth three weeks ago. When they came in my hospital room to do the paperwork, I asked them to come later because my husband made a quick run home to get me my breastfeeding pillow and will be back soon. They said they didn't need my husband for the birth certificate. They only needed my signature and I could just name him as the father. Yikes, seemed a bit easy for people to abuse that.
I also could have named the baby whatever without his input if I was petty. That is not right. A baby has two parents, Dad should not be an afterthought.
Congratulations on your new baby!
Interesting. When my first child was born, I had to sign the BC. The nurse even asked if I wanted a DNA test done. If I recall correctly my wife was in the room at the time.
@@kjhnsn7296 Same same. I was offered a DNA test as well.
When you’re married it’s different in different states. Marriage automatically makes him the father. When you’re single (in some places) that’s when it’s usually more involved
@@astarieapothecary My state is one of those states. The term you are referring to is "child of the marriage". However the hospitals still offer testing to the father. No time to know like right at the beginning. At that point if deception is uncovered it can be dealt with.
Hire an attorney, spend tens of thousands of dollars you’ll never get back, to defend yourself from this insanity?!? Money most people don’t have?!!! Unbelievable.
take out a loan. its still cheaper then paying 18 years of child support
@@ttrev007 Exactly!!! 💯
@@ttrev007 yes of course. My point is that the system is so screwed up that he would have to do that in order to defend himself against something he didn’t do in the first place.
@@aimeerebecca1 agreed it is a screwed up and unfair system.
You do not need a lawyer. A DNA test is $150-$300 dollars. That’s literally all you need.
Like I've said before, if women start putting judges, senators, and congressmen names on BC, I betcha the laws would change FAST
True
Thats a quick way for women to get taken out. Men with power don't play like that.
I like your idea. 😂
.. ONE FEMALE PLACED JAYZ AS THE FATHER OF HER DAUGHTER, THE PLACING OF HIS NAME SEEMS TO HAVE FALLEN ON DEAF EARS 🚫👂
Exactly
They are already claiming deceased men are the father. These lying women need to be charged. That lie could have destroyed him.
All she cared about was getting free money
Shame he should have kept his Willie in his pants
😮
Well start voting and protesting
The guy had a one night stand..he's not holly.
The mother should be held accountable and this brother should be able to be reimbursed of damages he'd incurred!
The trouble is the woman probably randomly named him to get welfare. No blood from a stone.
May I ask who will pay him back for his legal fee's?
Exactly, who is liable for all the money he had to spend because of this false accusation??? He certainly shouldn't be on the hook for it because he didn't do anything wrong.
In the words of Keith Sweat...nobody.
I feel sorry for the child, and I believe that DNA testing should be mandatory .
Same here but not because they don’t have a father but be she’s their mother
You pay for it.
@Xris Manessa how about you pay every man back that has paid child support for kids that weren't theirs. How about you pay all of the divorced husbands too.
Cubanbella Everytime I hear stories like this I keep saying mandatory DNA test before mother and child leaves the hospital. A child need to know who their biological father is .
@Tolice Lawrence 💯
She picked a married man she's a homewrecker and lied about it. That is a terrible woman and what's worse is that she did not apologize to the family. She should suffer consequences and penalties as she was going for the financial game
Alot of these modern women are disgusting creatures.
This is insane. Why does she get to hide after lying.
SHE CAN HIDE ALL SHE WANTS TO. GOD IS LOOKING RIGHT AT HER!HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT SHE DID!AND, SHE WILL NOT GET AWAY WITH IT! REMEMBER, THE EYES OF THE LORD IS LOOKING ,AND HIS EYES ARE IN EVERY PLACE, BEHOLDING THE GOOD AS WELL AS THE EVIL!SO, DONG THINKFOR A MOMENT THAT SHE HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT. IN DUE TIME, GOD WILL GET HER FOR LYING ON THAT MAN!NO MO TALK!
The woman accusing him of being the father cannot be identified because she has rights what about his rights?
He had rights, that’s how it got settled. He went public with it, not her, so that’s why he’s public and she’s not. None the less she was still wrong.
SHE NEEDS TO BE IN JAILLLLLL.
@Tasha Isaac what where his rights? If anything his rights where violated.
@@MichaelLoves2024 his rights were demonstrated when they corrected the wrong that was made lawfully. That’s how rights work. Your violated by others, then the law corrects that violation that is done to you
@Tasha Isaac They(the law) went after him simply off hearsay.
Specifically, what are his rights in this case, that the law upheld.
You are referring to base level rights ie he can fight it in court, that's obvious. That not the issue.
A right to privacy means I can't just go and request your personal information. It's protected by your rights, they will not give it to me. Where were his rights exercised up until the point of him finally stepping in and having to pay to protect himself?
The answer is, he had no rights against her using his name in order for her to get what she wanted. Thus no rights. It's nothing stopping another woman from doing this until laws/right are set up to protect men from these women. And based off what the lawyer said , for some reason that will not be happening anytime soon.
That woman's face and name should be broadcast throughout the state; she almost ruin that man's life, yet her name is being protected. The laws need to be changed.
You can protect her name, but not the victims name, and it can be smeared all over the news. Make that make sense.
They sent financial inquiries to his job without a single shred of evidence that he is connected to the child or the mother. WHAT?
@@nboddie1036 🤷🏽♀️
My husband had that happen to him when I was pregnant with our youngest. The Department of Justice actually had all of the paperwork ready for them to withdraw $560.00 a month forcibly. No DNA testing was even offered. They told him to send a picture of himself! The woman did the right thing by saying it wasn’t my spouse. But what would have happened to us if she had said yes? All these years later and it is still upsetting.
How wonderful to hear the wife say that she knew her husbands character, and that he was a man of integrity. She is a an example for other spouses to follow. Her parent's must be so proud
Wonderful thing that he lived up to that character because not all stories turn out like this one
Many times a woman will stand by the man out of shame for the revelation of his infidelity
Look at Hillary Clinton
Not really if he was my husband he would on the streets for sleeping with a stripper
@SunniCalifornia What's funny?
@SunniCalifornia what?
Down here, in Louisiana, you go to jail. 🤣🤣 They have the signs up in every courthouse, hospital, DA and Child Support office. It's a whole felony. That crap has dropped dramatically. 🤨🤨
ABSOLUTELY SICKENING that it could happen, that woman needs criminal charges, just pulling names out of yellow pages. PATHETIC
Ironic that the left pushed these laws for women now the left is crying
or a butt whipping.
Woman hell, you give her too much credit. Cow is more like it.
@@bigsarge9610 They like them like that
How did she not know they would eventually test the child? She made a dummy move and I'd sue her if I was him.
How in the hell can you pull some random guy out of your ass and claim he is the father of your child? What makes this worse is this type of fraud has no legal consequences. This mystery woman can go on and do it to another man with impunity.
I cannot fucking believe that there are no consequences for this literal fraud.
Her greed will let her do it again and again until she hooks a victim.
Props to that woman for standing by her mans side.
Out of shame
@@silentmajority8365 ???
@@lcam9241 Lots of women will stand by the man because they think by showing support it makes the man look less guilty
I have seen many court cases where the husbands were charged with horrible things and they were true yet the women stood by them
Its common in cases of stepfather molesting stepdaughter cases but I saw a case where a photographer was getting high school girls to pose for sexy pictures and there was photographic proof yet the wife sowed up everyday
@@silentmajority8365 shame of what? He was proven innocent
@@silentmajority8365 He was out there though, so he dodged a bullet men say I never knew her all the time. DEADBEAT
What a blessed man to have a wife that believed in her husband's integrity.
Yes, absolutely! A wife knows if her husband has integrity or not. He treats his wife right you can tell. 🎉
the editing guy putting his heart in this one
Lol
Had the same thing happen to him that’s why.
If a person can go to prison for stealing, they should go to prison for false accusations! 😲 She may have seen so many men that she thought that they all looked a like! Sounds familiar! 😕 I've heard of several cases, such as this; around the world!
DNA should be taken in all delivery rooms, just like their baby's footprint! I'm so glad he was cleared! 😊👍
I agree with your sentiment, but unfortunately lying is only criminal when it's done in a trial. What I do believe should happen is that people who falsely accuse should automatically be sued by the state so the victim can be restituded.
A false accusation can harm me x1000 more than being robbed of $100, and yet false accusations are rarely punished...
Beautiful lady and husband. Wish them peace ✌ 🙏
"If you're caught in a similar situation, your best option is to hire an attorney."
Right, because every man struggling to make ends meet has $20K just lying around to pay an attorney!
DNA testing should be mandatory!
Start a pension and get signatures. That is not hard to do
It should be!! It happened to my cousin after he raised a child for 19 years! It was very very sad to find out he wasn’t the father once the child was 19 and had been in our family all those years.
@@xwhysquared huh? Are laws passed by petitions and signatures? Didn't you hear what the lawyer said? It's deeper than just doing the right thing.
@@MichaelLoves2024 true but if the public wants this to be mandatory then a petition need to be started and signatures need to be collected and then when it gets enough signatures it becomes a ballot measure for the public to vote and they decide. The public should be depend on their election officials to get this right.
@@xwhysquared bruh I can tell you rn all that stuff about petitions isn’t going to do anything b/c those in power don’t want to change it.
She saying that on the cameras you know she was like "you better clear this up right now"!!!
That part lol she went through a few things
We need mandatory DNA TESTING FOR EVERY MAN before birth certificate signing
Facts. And mandatory child support as soon as it’s established
Just for this demographic
they have a 77% illegitimacy rate
Amen.
He ain’t the father and didn’t sign. All births need DNA verifications.
Based on what?
Will you pay for it?
This could destroy families and cause generational trauma to so many people. They've gotta fix this.
I'm happy things worked in his favor! Shame on anyone willing to falsely accuse someone of anything, but especially of this magnitude!
He may not be the father but he banged her
Women like that have many lovers
The TV show Maury proved that
Thank God
@@daniellej7914 Exactly 💯!!
@@daniellej7914 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@silentmajority8365 THEY NEVER MET.
1:33 "A woman, we are not naming" And this is why these evil people do this to men. You not naming the perpetrator is part of the problem. The evil manipulators are never held accountable. Men be careful out there.
That is sad. How does a woman even try something so dishonest concerning a child. My God if she does not know, she doesn’t know. Shameful. I’m so glad he was able to get things straight.
I'm sure she had pictures of then together and ts not like these guys are not babging everything
This normal. About one third of men are raising kids that aren’t really theirs.
@@silentmajority8365 your misandry is showing 😏
@@robsawyer8034 Only because they are banging lots of women
I doubt its a third if they got DNA tests
@@tonyalston4838 My contempt for recalcitrant people is showing

The really sad part is he would have been held responsible for a child he has never seen and has no idea who they are. Not to mention, his wages would have been garnish with not one piece of evidence proving that he was the father.
If there are no consequences for paternity fraud, this will be a neverending problem.
Now, he should sue her lying butt!!
Waste of time. Any woman this low down probably doesn’t have a pot to piss in. I learned the hard way that winning a civil suit is one thing, collecting is another.
There has to be a penalty for paternity fraud. And there should be no statute of limitations. I was victimized by this by the woman I was married to, 32 yrs later when she was sick and possibly dying she finally came clean. There must be repercussions for premeditated paternity fraud.
Can he sue her for lying like that?
I'm curious as to why you're NOT naming this woman who outright lied on this man?! She's a criminal.
The wife had such a relief look on her face while her husband was speaking
So why can't this lady be charged for this accusation!!!
All she has to do is say you’re the father and you got to prove otherwise
Exactly how it works. And she will just move on to another victim
And it won't stop due to states failure to protect men. But they'll make a new law in a nano second to protect women.. weird sexist crap 😢
Shame on the law makers for not holding the woman accountable they are gutless
I’ll never have another child in this country again! The family court system is the biggest nightmare a man will ever face in his lifetime
His wife is absolutely AMAZING she said can’t nobody make her doubt her husband or anything that he says and does!! Stand by your man sis!!
Yeah stand by him even when he's cheating on her
She’s a great wife for trusting him vs going against him. But it’s ok to have your own back and protect your heart incase the worst comes out. All you can do is have faith. If it came out he was the father, I still don’t think she’d leave him….Many don’t especially the ones trust their husbands that much.
Dang, is it so hard to believe that some men have character and wouldn't cheat even if their lives depended on it? Some men don't cheat, ever, for any reason.
@@ninaowusu8157 He didn't cheat. He didn't know the woman. The woman lied about that one night stand to get benefits.
These women need to start facing some type of consequence. They so casually ruin men’s lives with these false accusations and then just go home and go on with their lives after being proven liars.
The FOTC has seriously damaged my relationship with my daughter. I had to fight to attach my daughter's mother to the case then fight to get parenting time and for 9 years got absolutely no where. Thankfully I did figure it out but I had health issues which made it impossible to hire a lawyer. 9 years I will never get back because of their nonsense and negligence.
These women need to get charged for false accusation.
He should have legal recourse but if it was ever brought to light what child support ultimately funds the judicial system would be turned upside down
He should sue her!
@@godschild2-yd3jy we should sue the system. tfotc is state funded slavery facilitator.🤡's
Congratulations, sir, and p.s. you have a great wife and a great relationship !! 💖
Beautiful family. She has a good man! Hate this happened. But I can feel it through the screen.
He has a good wife too!
@@lcam9241 amen!
When there are no consequences, then why would a criminal not continue to do this?
My husband told me some female did this to him when he was like 23 years old. And it was in Detroit so damn, these lady's out here in Michigan are wild.
Insanity and disgusting. Poor man. That crazy woman almost ruin his reputation and family.
The court can drag his name through the mud, but her name can't be mentioned🤔 dna test is a must regardless. I don't care if you swipe the baby's mouth and get an independent test done, just get it done "fellas".
Yep, DNA should be mandatory
I did, and I'm free as a boid.
@@bighou2359 salute🤑
Same thing happened to me. Somebody I don't know or ever met was trying to claim child support from me. Fortunately since she didn't know anything about me (or what state I lived in) her story unraveled pretty quickly. Be aware, these women are scandalous!
The father by default states need to stop. When women don’t know, they need to figure it out, and tax payers should not be forced to care for these people and their family.
EXACTLY!! Father by default SUCKS!!!! Mothers who dont know who their child's father is should take care of their own children WITHOUT assistance!!! PERIOD!!!!!!!
That man had to give up his DNA. That’s serious.
"The initial letter sent to his home stated a woman, whom we are not naming..."
Why not? Why isn't she being named? By not naming her, you tell every woman who would try something like this that there is no penalty for trying. If it fails, oh well, move on. If it succeeds, you get to force a man to pay for a child that isn't his.
Edit: Just to add to what I've said, this isn't a case of, well I slept with him and really thought he was the father. She never slept with him. She never MET him! She knew there was no possible way he could be the father. She should be charged and thrown in jail.
Making people pay child support without proof of parentage SHOULD BE A CRIME!!!
Interesting how they claim emotions are a consideration for not passing mandates and laws protecting men from lying women in child support cases, but never a concern for the man, or possibly his family's emotional well being. Destroying innocent people's lives with false statements and accusations is a crime in so many other arenas, yet given the gravity and life changing results or effects, this too should be handled with the same zealousness
What this video fails to acknowledge is these women only receive free services -IF- they provide a man’s name. They won’t get services if they don’t. It’s a disgusting policy that needs to stop.
Bless you both
DNA testing should be mandatory before ANYTHING else is done...no birth certificate signing, no letter to my job, no inquiries about garnishing my wages...that is some BS! And there needs to be charges against women who lie about this or at least a fine...I'm glad things worked out for this man and his family...i hope that little girl can one day know her real father 🙏🏾❤️
She been proven guilty but can’t be named. This poor man is innocent yet his name is splashed all over the media. And people wonder why men avoid American women so much.
When the enemy tries to hold you back GOD steps in. The sad part is most of these females really think its okay to do this . Not only was this humiliating for this man and family but it was injustice 😢... I pray going forward all will be well
wow... this is a new angle to trap a man as the father. some random chick can say he's the dad?? SCARY. thank GOD dna cleared him.
Of course there’s no accountability. And I’m sure there’s a crowd that still blames him for her actions
DNA test should be mandatory during the birth of a child... She literally almost ruined this man's life
How can you get a document saying you're being sued by an unnamed woman for an unnamed child? This is f'ing insane!
She could’ve costed him his marriage, job and reputation. Thankfully he has a wife with integrity and it didn’t interfere with his job. A woman can change a man’s life by snapping her finger. Imagine how many men she’s probably slept with for her to just pick a random stranger out of the blue, someone she’s never even met. That child may never know who their father is.
For real and his wife could have divorced him etc.
That's why there should be mandatory paternity test at the time of birth
Wonder how many more cases are like this. By the time Wayne county catches up to backed up cases, the child would be grown. 😬😬
It’s a lot! That’s an old school ancient way of getting benefits!!
They suck.
It's one of the worst child care systems in the US and they know it. How it manages to continue is asinine.
I would sue for defamation and emotional distress brought upon my family. It's not that they couldn't seek a paternity test, but to bring this to his family, workplace, and threat of legal action are stress, embarrassment, and potential harm to my family life that I would not let go just because I get a letter stating I'm excluded from being the father.
This is why such kinds of actions in court cannot be dismissed -- regardless of how ridiculous the accusations. Had this man not shown up in court, he would have been stuck with child support payments. I suspect this allegation was made in the hope that this man wouldn't take it serious.
There needs to be a penalty for lying, and women must be required to come forward in order to make such a claim in the first place - no anonymity.
There needs to be jail time for paternity fraud. Now.
He needs to sue her for defamation, court cost, slander, pain and suffering.
Predators of greed on both ends! Courts make a lot of money off of fathers, so they wouldn't dream of passing laws that would crack down on paternity fraud. So it is allowed to flourish and those that prey on these unsuspecting men continue to get paid.
Something has to be done. I married my child’s mother almost two years after my child support order from the friend of the court. The friend of the court kept rejecting my partition/motion to modify. They simply wouldn’t schedule a hearing before a judge so I can end stop the order. Finally, I hired a lawyer on was in front of judge in 2 weeks.
WHY IS THIS WOMAN NOT CHARGED WITH A FELONY.. SHE SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH A SERIOUS CRIME..
This is a good reason to live a good life. People are more apt to take your word.
Poor baby...😊
DNA test needs to be mandatory before putting a name on a birth certificate in all 50 states I hear about one of these cases every week now it’s truly sad
There has to be a conspiracy against this. I don't see what the issues is. Two easy swabs.
The women should 100 percent be named! She smeared this mans good name. This man could have lost his life. She needs to be named and her picture needs to be on TV.
He know her😂 He just got lucky
HE DEF KNOW HER😂😂😂😂😩😩😩. He just knew it wasn’t his.😂😂😂
Every man is not a whoremonger just as every woman is not a whore. Obviously the word integrity is not familiar to you. I trust mine the same way this lady did hers. There’s good couples out here. Good luck to you!
They should also make her come in and submit to lie detector testing to verify if she had any dealings with him.
@@mimi-rk2qu Girl he knew that lady😂😂😂😂.
I bet those committee members would change the laws once those letters showed up at their house that they, “Are the Father!”
Props to the wife for standing by her husband!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
This is going on in different states. Some men are still having to pay even with negative DNA results. Ridiculous and unfair!!!
No, criminal.
@@timbattle4035 Should be, but some states allow it because then they don't have to financially support the child.
God Bless you 🙏 Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith.
This happens all the time. Law needs to change!!! Its absurd.
Prosecute the person who files the false paternity suit(s), sentence them to prison & require them to payback for all court & legal costs, etc...
How do you just do this to a person? Lives have been ruined for things like this. Men have served time in jail because they were falsely alleged to be the father.
The burden of proof should be on the person pushing the case. This man deserves a settlement.
"I trust my husband because I know his character, a man of integrity" As a man, hearing this from your wife, is GOLD! To put an innocent man through this, especially a married man, is horrible.
Facts.
That's Detroit for you this happens often
" i trust my husband "
He has a great wife
Wow, this was special !!!
