Unconstitutional debtor prisons triggered by draconian child support guidelines 
are why father, actor,  and entertainer Darius McCrary is behind bars again over
an alleged tens of thousands in child support arrears.  Interestingly, McCrary, 
47, a beloved figure in Hollywood,   remembered on the show Family Matters, has 
been vocal about how the child support system treats fathers. 

McCrary, the father of three, was arrested for his eldest and only son in a child
support case established over a decade ago.  In an interview earlier this year, 
Darius shared his feelings about the ongoing case in Oakland County, Michigan, where
he is set to be extradited from California on October 26, 2023.  McCrary said, “
A child is not a financial plan.  A child is more so an asset to a legacy.  And 
when you separate a child from his father, you are missing a legacy.”  [https://youtu.be/iziqRNyaXKw](https://thechildsupporthustle.com/darius-mccrary-debtor-prison-other-constitutional-violations-over-child-support-debt/\"https://youtu.be/iziqRNyaXKw\")

Sadly, for the past nearly thirty years, children have been turned into a financial
plan courtesy of Uncle Sam.  The passing of a legacy from father to son, once an
essential staple in families, communities, and the United States, was traded for
the almighty dollar.  According to the Office of Child Support Services, child Support
is a welfare recovery program that criminalizes fathers.  Sadly, Darius found out
about child support and parental alienation when his son was snatched from him and
his family without warning, never to be seen in person again for nearly a decade.

Darius founded Fathers Care, an organization fighting for reform to the child support
system for several reasons including, but not limited to, more equality in custody
agreements, 2. abolishment of debtor prisons, which were outlawed in 1833, and 3.
identifying that withholding children from loving fathers is harmful to the child
and should be a crime.

While we fight for Darius’s freedom from bondage, we will also fight for his freedom
in this frivolous child support case and for a path back to his son to mend their
shattered relationship.  When children are erased from their fathers, they are also
erased from their entire paternal relatives.  [https://youtu.be/_t59KRE6K_w](https://thechildsupporthustle.com/darius-mccrary-debtor-prison-other-constitutional-violations-over-child-support-debt/\"https://youtu.be/_t59KRE6K_w\")
Officials and pundits scream of a fatherless crisis but prevent fathers from being
fathers every day.
