You might get tickets going to a clinic to get a DNA1 test or going on a daytime talk show. But now in New York City, you can just walk up to an RV called 揥ho抯 your daddy?truck to get your DNA analyzed2. Eyewitness3 reporter Carolina Leid has more on the man behind a very profitable business.
"This is crazy. This is better than Maury. Maury抯 about to go out of business."
People can抰 help stop, snap pictures and giggle4 when they see the hard to miss 揥ho抯 your daddy?RV in your neighborhood.
"Is that 'Who's Your Daddy'? I mean, and since I heard, I am guessing it's probably going to help a lot of people out. They don't have to go to Maury.?
Health Street抯 mobile DNA testing RV cruises city streets, selling tests to men who fear they may not really be their kids?dads.
Jared Rosenthal parked it in East Harlem this afternoon and says, most times emotions are overwhelming.
"You are there at the moment when they're finding out something that can change their life?"
"Yeah, yeah, and it's drama, it's emotional."
Rosenthal swabs clients' sheets, fills out paperwork, and takes photographs. The results are legal and hold up in court. The test costs about $350.
And don't be surprised to see the "Who's Your Daddy" truck anywhere in the five boroughs5. And after that initial reaction of photo-taking and a little bit of laughing, people say you know what, it's quick, convenient and private.
Rosenthal alerts the news in person on the phone or by mail in about three days. As for the talk show comparison, he says this is real life.
"We almost never see that. You know what we see is dads that really wanna take care of their child."
