And you thought Octomom had her hands full—a Tennessee man who has fathered 30 children is asking the courts for a break on child support. Desmond Hatchett, 33, of Knoxville has children with 11 different women, reports WREG-TV.


The state already takes half his paycheck and divides it up, which doesn't amount to much when Hatchett is making only minimum wage. Some of the moms receive as little as $1.49 a month. The oldest child is 14 years old.
Hatchett explains how he reached such a critical mass: He had four kids in the same year. Twice.


Back in 2009 when Hatchett was in court to answer charges that many of the mothers were not receiving child support, he had 21 children. At the time, he said he was not going to father any more kids, but he ended up having nine more in the past three years
.
The state cannot order Hatchett to stop making babies. He hasn't broken any laws, according to the report.

Lets see, 33 years old and 30 kids from 11 different women - you do the math. Maybe he should settle down and start a family or something.

Is this a shawn kemp story?

What would happen if he were to just do an unpaid volunteer job and go live with a relative who paid all of his living expenses? How would they collect anything if he wasn't making any income?

And to think, more of his genes will get passed along than any of us here.

I think payments accumulate, job or no job.

For some reason I read this is Howard Shemp.

The best part is that he helped push the planets population over 7,000,000,000

He should have had a court-ordered vasectomy years ago.

I like to read and comment on Yahoo news clips. I dont remember one getting so many comments in such a short amount of time like this one:

37,500 comments in 24 hours, with growth slowing to about 500 per hour.

He is going to be a modern day Ghengis Khan. In 1000 years, scientists and historians will assume he was some sort of great conqueror.

 

[wirednuts]

dont forget probably 100% of those moms are collecting welfare checks too now

30 from 11, that means several women had 3 or ore kids with him.... I have no sympathy for those women...

 

[WaTaGuMp]

This guys IQ is probably lower than his shoe size.

 

[jagec]

Not only should he have to pay for them, he should have to live in the same house with all the moms.

This is the premise of the prophetic movie Idicocracy. :biggrin:

Proof that natural selection is a failed theory.

I (for the most part) agree. It takes two to tango.

 

[MedicBob]

Good God.

I like sex too, but not the babies. Wrap the willie!!

You can thank the libruls for that. If it wasn't for libruls, tax dollars would have been spent on better things than perpetuating the survival of the unfit.

This is a worrying trend though, a lot of the smart, hard working professionals I know are having a hard time passing on their genes, whereas the most stupid of peole are popping out babbies by the dozens.

Natural selection favors those that can perpetuate their species.

Intelligence is just a convenient and accidental side effect.

Intelligence is convenient until it becomes knowledge of global warming. Then its an inconvenient truth. :sneaky:

One consequence of our intelligence is that affluent societies will take care of people who don't want to or simply cannot work to take care of themselves.

As much as I dislike government involvement in people's lives, I think that making free birth control and sterilizations available to anyone and everyone (rich and poor, young and old) is something that my tax dollars should subsidize. From a practical perspective, it is cheaper to do this than be on the hook, as a society, to possibly support another human being's life.

I'm reading Freakonomics, and it's hypothesized in there in there that Roe V. Wade ended up being responsible for a substantial drop in crime rates more than a decade afterward, as those who would have been born would have been turning into potentially crime-prone juveniles and young adults.
Kind of an unfortunate sort of situation as a whole, but this here Universe doesn't really give a damn about humanity. We just get to deal with what nature came up with.
