I understand that you could not keep the child till you were paid (kidnapping and ransom shouldn't be a business plan!), but you could refuse them future service until they paid.



I couldn't, as a staffer--but yes, the organization could, and they did a couple of times that I know of.

One person had a $180 fine (half of that was mine) and they were asked not to come back when they refused to pay it.

Smaller amounts were ignored.
