A lot of folks don’t know how many divorced parents simply do not pay child support. The bureaucracy involved in efforts to collect money due for child support is nothing short of ridiculous.

He told them he got it from his wife, who works at a grocery store.

4700 block of Roswell Road 30342 – A woman said a man she vaguely knows saw her in a parking lot and asked her whether she wanted to see the woman’s clothing he had for sale in his apartment.

He asked whether she would give him a massage. She said no, so he made himself comfortable on the bed and began fondling himself. She left the apartment and called police the next day. She said she was afraid to call the cops that night.
