Milwaukee man busted for child support after bragging on Facebook

Being the voice of the people, entertaining and enlightening people isn't always an easy job. I want better for my people and I'm hoping if I post enough of these kinds of stories people will wake up. Doesn't appear to be getting through. Hip Hop Wired reports:

A deadbeat dad in Milwaukee was busted over missed child support payments, after he posted photos on Facebook, confirming his money flow.

Christopher Robinson is father of a two year old, but has yet to make a single child support payment. He told the court that he was financially strapped, and therefore unable to support the toddler.

Suspicious of his statements, the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office was granted access to the 23-year-old's Facebook page, which featured several posts of him with “wads of cash and liquor.”

The photos may be incriminating enough to lead to Robinson's arrest. “It's a great investigation tool for us because it gives us a glimpse into their real lives that our targets may be living,” explained Milwaukee County Chief Deputy District Attorney Kent Lovern. “What a photograph enables us to do is if somebody has more money than maybe they are indicating they do, that allows us to apply to the court for a search warrant.

“Generally what we are trying to do is make sure that parents fulfill their responsibilities to their children.”

Robinson now faces several felony charges.
