France Deadbeat Parents

French President Emmanuel Macron removes a protective face mask to take a drink of water as he attends a meeting during a visit at the headquarters of the local CAF (French family allowance public services) in Tours, central France, Tuesday Jan. 5, 2021. Macron denounced in a tweet unpaid child support as "an unbearable situation for hundreds of thousands of single parents," as France is launching a new government service entitled to take money directly from the bank accounts of absent parents who fail to pay child support, aiming at helping many families, in majority single mothers, emerge out of precarious living conditions.
