Your child has been kidnapped and brainwashwd, and the kidnappers claim the he his their son. I challenge you to prove otherwise. A birth certificate would come in handy.
- stefan_kendall 13y agoWhat stops someone from stealing my cats out of my apartment? 1.) Most people don't want to. And if they did get stolen, how would I prove they were mine? I have no registered documentation of the cats! Except for photos, and dozens of individuals who have seen me with the cats. You don't need a government certificate to bring a civil or criminal case against someone.
- byoung2 13y agoWhat stops someone from stealing my cats out of my apartment? 1.) Most people don't want to. Cats are plentiful...I can get one anywhere. Children, on the other hand, are hard to come by. Ask anyone who paid $20k for fertility treatments and still couldn't have a child. More nefarious types can't steal your cats and make them soldiers, or sell them as sex slaves like they can your children.

- shiven 13y agoA birth certificate would come in handy. As would a DNA based paternity test. No need for government issued papers.
- byoung2 13y agoAs would a DNA based paternity test. No need for government issued papers A country that can't even issue birth certificates can do DNA testing?

- byoung2 13y agoGood point, but isn't it still much easier to have the parents sign a piece of paper and keep it in a hall of records than to constantly mail off dna samples for testing? I'm sure that presenting the birth certificate is much quicker and cheapet than mail order dna tests.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoLeaving aside the many other problems with your scenario, why would a birth certificate come in handy? At best, it would prove that you had a child at some point. It certainly wouldn't show that any particular child was yours (unlike a paternity test).
