Is that fear or just irresponsibility?
And where is your evidence that shows that all irresponsible parents are "deadbeats."
You have an over stylized view of the world, probably based upon hearsay.

Is it really ditching my child, if I knocked up some hooker last week?
So how do we punish people who ditch their girlfriends and wives when they are pregnant? Surely this must be punishable.

They are punished by losing access to their child and that relationship.
I went through a bad break up with my kid's first mom. She ended up taking the kid and hiding his location, and everyone thought of me as a dead beat dad, Who did not want to see him.
Had somebody sterilized me for perceived wrong doing, I wouldn't have had my second son, who is the only reason I bother to even wake up in the morning. More important than me missing out on having my youngest son, is that the world would be deprived of him, and he is a net benefit to the world.
How about yo uh climb out of your ivory tower and be a less judgemental person
How come every other thread started on this site is either by some ivory tower conservative who wants to piss on poor people or some elitist liberal who also wants to piss on poor people?
Screen-Shot-2018-11-13-at-10.34.52-AM.png (1382×1092) (whyy.org) states that the single motherhood rates are basically at all time highs for all races. This site also states that blacks and Hispanics are more likely to end up in single motherhood homes than whites. This partially explains why blacks and Hispanics are more likely to end up in prison and why they are more likely to end up in poverty than whites.
This isn't due to a racist police force that has as many minorities as a proportion of its population as the US population. The lurking variable that many of our left leaning friends and family members fail to realize is the single motherhood epidemic that effects blacks and Hispanics more than it does whites. Why this is the case is anyone's guess, but deadbeat African American dads not honoring their parental responsibilities is certainly not due to the perceived racism of society.
So this brings us to the question, how to reduce single motherhood so less people go to jail and less kids grow up in poverty.
My idea is to punish deadbeat parents for abandoning their parental responsibilities.
This consists of deadbeat dads getting a mandatory vastectomy and deadbeat moms getting their tubes tied.
The funds for this are paid for by the government and intended to be a deterrence to people to not abandon their parental responsibilities in order to provide their kids with hopefully a better life than they had. If you abandon your parenting responsibilities once, you easily could do it again.
This idea and deterrence reduces the foster kid count in addition to reducing the poverty and incarceration rate in the long term as anyone unwilling to get a vastectomy or their tubes tied would suck up the parenting responsibilities that they owe to their kids.
If they have to set their kids up for adoption, this is fine if they get their tubes tied or a vastectomy before they set their kids up for adoption or decide to be a deadbeat parent. Otherwise, you might make the same mistake again. This also helps reduce overpopulation.
This idea also allows very horny people to get sterilized, and then have all the sex they want without the fear of becoming a parent.
I fail to see the problem with this idea. It reduces long term poverty rates, incarceration rates, foster kid rates, it reduces overpopulation, it reduces the welfare state, and it allows horny players to get all the consensual sex they can get without fearing being a parent.
a court ruling that I don't agree with said that your ex wife gets the kids.
I am not "pissing" on poor people; I am merely trying to hold the people who destroy other lives (like smash and dash parents) accountable
Of course the best way to end single motherhood.
Is an effective State contraception and abortion system.

Public shame is the most effective tool at discouraging or encouraging any behavior.
