Some of the most absurd things happens around the world. Just a few days ago, my mom told me about a piece of news she read. Apparently in China, a man's ex-wife had to pay off his debts which amounted to $500k. That's just because the man gave his ex-wife everything they shared after the divorce, and the court decided that since the man's possessions were given to his ex-wife, she should pay the debt. I doubt that the "everything" is worth anything close to the amount at all.
But what I saw on yahoo news today is even worse.

I am seriously still cursing this son of a bitch who cheated on his wife by marrying someone else, then pretends to repent, only to run away with their children to live with the woman he was cheating on his wife for. Sometimes it's really hard to believe the nerve some people have. It's even worse when the law seemingly "can't do much" when a woman's children is forcefully taken away by a cheating, deceving and vey scheming husband. The irresponsible actions of the man should be evident enough that the children should not be legally allowed to live with him. Well, i'm not a lawyer and didn't study anything close to that, but the whole situation the woman is in feels absolutely stupid. She has as much rights to the kids as the man does whether they are married or not. Heck, in my point of view, she has more right than him because obviously he cared more about the woman he was keeping outside than his kids when he couldn't be bothered to take care of his newborn child and instead went dating. That is such a very very rotten man, and a very ineffective legal system against marriage conflicts.
I feel so strongly about this piece of news, I'm sure most women will too. I can't imagine being in a situation like that. More needs to be done, by the mother. I'm sure of that. She needs to grab more media and public attention if she wants a kids back no matter how difficult or embarrassing it can be.
