Dead beat dads are a menace to our society and it is time to take action. These men need to learn to take some responsibility for their actions. Dead beat fathers will no longer be tolerated. There are many ways to rehabilitate these men, and it needs to be done immediately. A few solutions to this problem are jail, education and exposing these men to the environment that they have forced mothers and children to live in.
