Not all single mothers have to be sole providers and both MOM and DAD. There are some fathers in Craig who do take responsibility of their children, pay their child support, play with their children, have joint custody and make a home for their children half time at their own home. These men are not given credit for their efforts. When will someone do an article about single father's who make a home for their children AND pay child support to the single mother who has the children HALF time.

I was a single mother who was mother and father to my two children for 25 years without child support, insurance, or a father who cared to even visit his children. I have the ultimate respect for Tammy Rogers and the other single mothers who don't constantly complain or use the fact that by circumstance they are single mothers to make people feel sorry for them. Like me, they just take care of their children the best they know how and work long hours, make financial and relational sacrifices and enjoy every minute of it. I watched my children grow up, go to college, and make their own lives without constantly complaining about their father's lack of support.

My current husband does everything he can to keep joint custody of his three children, make sure they have medical insurance, take off from work to take them to the doctor, hospital, dentist, eye doctors, school, attend school functions as much as possible and provide for both houses by paying child support on time and consistently without any respect or appreciation from the woman who shares the children with him. When will someone look at that side of the story? When do these fathers get to be excluded from the "dead beat dad" category?

Poznet stiffed a whole bunch more people than just the hospital. Poznet collected money for me too and didn't pay it. I would love to know what Kelly Grinolds did with all our money.

I run a home business and contracted with Poznet to collect on some bad debts. I called and called and called Kelly for months and never got a reply until I got a letter from an attorney saying that I would get less than 2% of the money I was owed. I didn't even know Poznet was able to collect the money until then. I got a statement from the attorney stating that shortly after I contracted with Kelly he collected the money I was due, the collection fees as per my service contract, and interest on the money. All Kelly had to do was keep any money over what I was due and give me the rest. He kept it all. I had to prove to the attorney that I didn't get any of the money Kelly had collected. It took two more months before I got a check.

The attorney took a share of the money too so there was little left to pay the people Kelly was working for. Until I saw the hospital story I didn't know how much money Kelly got away with. Must have been some big business ventures that we all paid for.

How is this not criminal? What did you do with all that money Kelly? What bad business decisions did you make this communtiy pay for??? What did you anticipate your decisions would do to benefit all of us?

I walk farther across the City Market parking lot than I do downtown, even during Grand Olde West Days activities and Christmas Shopping days. We don't have a parking problem ANYWHERE in Craig.
