55. Father and child have a right to know but no secret test. Test openly
Mother should not be charged. Because the charge amounts to nothing more than a "gotcha" for adultery. It's just cloaked.

Do they charge the biological father as well? No one can fully say the actual father didn't know. So isn't he guilty as well?

What about the "legal" father? What's the rule for catching him having sex outside his marriage? He doesn't exactly give birth, so?
Do we just test all the kids in the neighborhood to see where his pecker has been?

I don't agree that a woman should lie about paternity. It's wrong. But I don't agree with charging her either. I think the testing should be done openly.

It's not "what's best for the family" to build it on a lie.
