Stalker Steve on TV?

[Don Dresden]

As discussed in detail here, Stalker Steve Foerster, a.k.a. Stephen Holbrook Foerster is an admitted stalker, adjudicated deadbeat dad and proven academic fraud.

All of which makes him a perfect candidate for this new show on Fox:

Fox zeroes in on 'Bad Dads'
Unscripted series focuses on making deadbeat fathers pay

The network has ordered a pilot from 3Ball Prods. in which an
avenger of penniless single mothers hunts down deadbeat dads and
forces them to pay child support.

Jim Durham, director of the National Child Support Center,
functions as a sort of "Dog the Bounty Hunter" for tracking
deadbeats. In the pilot, a financially destitute mom is contrasted
with her wealthy ex-husband, who is living the high life. Durham
confronts the man at his country club to shake him down in front
his friends. It's ambush reality TV -- but for a noble cause.

"(Durham) calls them on the phone and gives them the chance to do
the right thing," said executive producer JD Roth ("The Biggest
Loser," "Beauty and the Geek"). "Of course, those calls are never
met with anything but yelling. Then he goes into their life, finds
out what kind of assets they have and makes their lives miserable
-- foreclose on their house, repossess their car. He will squeeze
them until the women get paid."...

Sluggish government agencies often fail to persuade financially
liable fathers to pay child support. As of 2006, the nation's
cumulative uncollected child support stood at about $105 billion,
according to U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. Last
year's federal budget cuts could make the problem even worse,
potentially adding about $11 billion in uncollected child support
over the next 10 years. ...

As for the aggressive tactics, child support is not considered a
debt per se, but an order of the court. Collectors are therefore
not subject to following the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act,
which regulates what tactics a collection agency can employ to
collect a debt.

"I'm hoping that eventually this show changes how courts see
deadbeat dads and how moms have to deal with it," Roth said.

If greenlighted to series, "Bad Dads" will provide Fox a fresh take
on the law enforcement reality show, a genre the network pioneered
with such Saturday night staples as "Cops" and "America's Most
Wanted."

"I've seen 'Cops,' and I want to watch more than a crack addict
with his pants around his ankles running away from a police car,"
Roth said. "These guys owe money, and they should pay."
