Delinquent in Child Support? Don't Flash Cash on Facebook!

June 13, 2013

Seriously? You can't pay $150 a month in child support for your three-year old child (for three years!), but you can flash cash in a Facebook photo?

Christopher Robinson may be rethinking his Facebook posts which showed him flush with cash.They helped the Milwaukee County District Attorney's office charge him with failure to pay child support. As you might imagine, the images were sufficient to allow the district attorney's office to obtain a search warrant to investigate further, resulting in access to Robinson's Facebook profile.

Robinson, quite the model of parental concern, was served with an arrest warrant in February and failed to appear in court. If found guilty on all three counts, he could serve up to nearly 11 years in prison.

"Think before you post" should have special meaning to some people.
