Child-Support Scofflaws Sought via Internet
Los Angeles County’s search for parents who owe back child support has moved into cyberspace, with the district attorney’s office posting electronic “wanted posters” of such parents on the Internet.
Charles Donald Powell Jr., who allegedly owes more than $66,000 in back payments for two teenage sons, was the first posted when the site went online last week, said a spokesman for district attorney’s Bureau of Family Support Operations. Powell’s last known address was in Thousand Oaks.
Photographs of children who have been abducted by a parent also appear on the World Wide Web site, including one of a girl believed to have been taken to Iran.
The district attorney’s office’s home page is https://www.co.la.ca.us/da/.
