Dear Honorable Ronald R. Schoenberg,

I was extremely concerned to hear of the incarceration of Christopher Robin, an internationally known advocate for parents' and fathers' rights. The purpose of imprisonment for failure to pay child support is purportedly for the benefit of children, so that they will not suffer economic and social hardship. In this case, I hardly see that this aim is relevant. The mother is quite well to do, and enjoys a life style that Mr. Robin can only dream about.

It is my understanding that you jailed Mr. Robin for failing to agree to sell his interest in the Purple Heart House, of which he owns only a limited part, in order to pay off his $9000 child support arrears. Can it be true that you would intentionally drive a man from his home, render him homeless and destroy all he has built, in order to pay a $9000 debt to a woman who is the daughter of a millionaire, lives in her mother's home free of charge, drives a new Lexus, and can afford an expensive Beverly Hills facelift? Then, when he refuses such an outrageous demand, you sentence him to jail. How exactly, Judge Schoenberg, is this in the best interest of the child?

In addition to the financial inequities of this case, there is also the fact that to date, Mr. Robin has been prevented from seeing his child for over two years. I am personally acquainted with Mr. Robin, and I can tell you that the idea that his spending time with his son would in any way endanger or harm that child is preposterous. Christopher Robin is a caring, loving, sincere, and completely honest man who simply wants to be a father to his son.

I also fear for Mr. Robins health. The stress of the separation from his son, combined with the anxiety that this trial and the resulting imprisonment has caused him may very well cause him irreparable injury.

I therefore urge you, in the name of human decency and justice, to immediately release Christopher Robin from jail, and order him re-united with his son.

Sincerely,
