HAMILTON — Ten new faces of parents accused of not paying court-ordered child support will soon grace the walls of local businesses.

The Butler County Child Support Enforcement Agency released a new wanted poster Thursday, March 20. Individuals on the poster owe a combined $223,000 in back child support.

Everyone listed on the poster has eluded attempts to collect child support and has a pending arrest warrant, CSEA officials say.

"It takes a lot to get on this poster," said CSEA Director Cynthia Brown. "We are asking the public to help bring these offenders to justice."

Agency officials say they have located 136 featured parents and collected more than $1.3 million in back payment since the first poster was published in 1995.

The poster will be featured in roughly 300 locations countywide, and at www.journal-news.com.

Anyone with information on a parent featured on the poster can call the agency's 24-hour tip line at (513) 785-5750 or 1-866-360-2338.
