I do object to that wording because that wording is based on a perspective that you or we or the laws have to give such orders or commands to the parents and I want to take the belligerence out of the equation.
I say that all human parents will always naturally and instinctively provide for the survival of their offspring, unless some thing interferes with the parents and their parenting.
If we view other parents as we view ourselves then all human parents love and care deeply about their children and it is very unnatural otherwise.
As such we do not need to give any instruction or commandments to the parents, and we could try giving the parents help and support in their parenting instead of the unnatural accusations.
If we see baby birds in a tree nest, and if we want to help those baby birds to grow, then we leave out food and water and such for the mommy and daddy birds and just let the parent birds raise their own baby birds, because the parents will do it them self and the babies want their own parents, and NONE of them want our interference.
I agree that when the children are in a condition of physical abuse or harmful neglect or parental incompetence then yes the Gov and the police do need to interfere and intervene, but not otherwise.
Paying or not paying the Child Support does NOT "neglect" the children, as it is the job of the Custodial to provide everything that the child(ren) need, even if that includes Public Assistance, so that means the children do have everything they need whether the Child Support is paid or not.
And for the poorest of poor families on Welfare do not receive the Child Support even if it does get paid as the law keeps the loot,

I confess that is correct, but that is saying the Custodial is incompetent or criminal or mentally ill, so in that case we would not expect the Custodial to give up their child(ren) as the police would most likely need to intervene.
I do agree though that the children do have full access to everything and anything they need regardless of any Child Support being paid or not.
Of course I want the children to survive, and I even want the children to be able to thrive and excel, but the way to best help the children is by helping both of their parents in being parents and NOT by the present system of punishing parents for their failings.
