In cases where the biological father cannot be tracked down, then the taxpayers should pick up the tab for supporting the children if the mother cannot afford to do so herself, or if it appears that the mother had conceived as a result of having been raped by an unknown attacker. Also the taxpayers should pick up the tab if it turns out that the father is an unemployable indigent who cannot pay child support. Most citizens would agree that it most unfair to make a man to pay for the consequences of something he didn't do, especially nowadays when he can absolutely prove by DNA testing that he didn't do it. Also most citizens will agree that it is the duty of the entire society to provide for the welfare and well-being of children whose mothers cannot do so on their own and whose fathers cannot be identified or whose fathers cannot be made to pay child support for reasons of the father's unemployability and/or lack of sufficient net worth.
