Mr. Anderson was married to the mother when the child was born, and thus legally the father. even if not biologically. Also, he established some degree of parent-child relationship (perhaps only financial), which continued for years. Nevertheless, Florida law let him off the hook, at least for the present and future if not retroactively.

Mr. Rodriquez, on the other hand, was not married to the mother, never knew the child, and never even knew he was being "framed" for paternity until recently ~ yet Florida law has put him behind bars and continues to dun him for payments.

Judging by their surnames, these two guys are, respectively, probably Caucasian and almost-undoubtedly Hispanic. In Florida.

Gee ~ does anyone think there might be a hint a racism at play here?
