The Montgomery County Sheriff’s is accused of being overly aggressive in the imprisonment of parents that are unable to make their child support payments.

The County Commissions office released a statement:

Seven deadbeat parents were arrested overnight during an unannounced raid starting at 1:00 a.m. and are being held pending a hearing by Hon. Judge Kelly C. Wall at the Montgomery County Courthouse.

“We’re taking a new approach,” said Sheriff Russell Bono. “I don’t want these deadbeat parents to ever feel comfortable.”

Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office deputies combed several areas including Norristown, Plymouth Meeting, Willow Grove, Glenside and Hatboro, Pa., on a search for 30 defendants with active warrants for delinquent support payments for 55 (people).

THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE — Journey to 79 A.D and experience life in the bustling city of Pompeii. See intricate Gladiator helmets and shin guards, perfectly preserved artifacts including jewelry, mosaics and statues, and feel the force of the eruption in a CGI simulated theater experience. The exhibit culminates in the reveal of full body casts-asphyxiated by extreme heat and noxious gases and forever frozen in time. Don’t miss this limited time exhibition!

“The recovered relics were awesome, Gladiator gear, coins, tools, fresco paintings and plaster poured remains. The surround sound & accompanying video gave me chills when it demonstrated how the eruption occurred throughout the day.”
