Complainant alleged that the Respondent her ex-husband was shirking his
responsibility as a father by refusing to provide for their daughter who has
successfully completed J.S.S. and is in need of financial assistance to gain
admission to the S.S.S. She was therefore seeking the Commission's assistance
in getting the Respondent to live up to his responsibilities as a father.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>OBSERVATION:<o:p></o:p>The
Commission observes that the Complainant has abandoned her case as both she and
the Respondent failed to appear before the Commission for a scheduled
discussion.<o:p></o:p><o:p>&nbsp;</o:p>DECISION:<o:p></o:p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:5.0pt;text-align:justify;text-indent:
