DNA testing van offering paternity tests to men around New York city

A van named 'Who's Your Daddy,' is traveling around the New York City, offering paternity tests to men.

The owner and operator of the vehicle, Jared Rosenthal, is doing DNA tests for around 200-300 pounds, men just have to give a cheek swab, after which there is a laboratory analysis and the paternity results are available in a couple of days.

"They flag us down, they pull us over, they talk to us," Sky News quoted Rosenthal as telling CBS News.

"Sometimes, because of the nature of the services, they want to be a little more discreet about it, but they do come or they'll call the number," he said.

Rosenthal said that he dealt with all kinds of strange situations in his line of work.

"We have people that want to get the specimen from their spouse without them knowing about it. We deal with a lot of drama. It's constant drama," he said.

One unidentified man, when asked why he was taking the DNA test from the travelling truck, said: "I'm paying child support anyways and I would do it anyways. You just want to know."

Rosenthal said that though there were a lot of difficult situations and tough moments and heartbreak, there were happy endings as well.

"There's a lot of good news that we're able to deliver and there's a lot of happy moments," he said.

For example, the DNA test helped a 44-year-old Harlem man find his long-lost 20-year-old daughter.

Rosenthal has maintained that his credentials are legitimate and that his business is legal and believes that he is providing an essential service.

"It's not something people talk about, but there is a big need for it," he added. (ANI)
