from eurweb:

Jermaine Jackson is currently in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, Africa. We’ve learned his passport has expired and he can’t get a new one, so he’s waylaid there.

Here’s what we know. In May 2008, Jermaine’s baby mama Alejandra got a child support order, requiring him to pay $3,000 a month. Jermaine went into arrears almost immediately and, as of last month, he owed $91,921.

Under California law, when someone owes more than $2,500 a month in child support, the State Department of Child Support Services automatically informs the feds of the delinquency, and the feds then flag the person’s passport. Once the passport expires, it will not be renewed until the person becomes current on child support obligations.

Our sources say Jermaine’s passport expired during his trip, he can’t get a new one and he’s stuck overseas.

i had to post this twice in order to get rid of the message from the board that i needed to edit this post

Reporting one's own thread to be deleted would be great. Thanks

We'll just it.
