FLINT, Michigan -- With 10 kids and no vehicle, Latrica Ryan is used to juggling.

Going to a movie or out for dinner is a like plotting a major tactical undertaking. Not that such outings happen that much.

"It would really be nice if I could take my kids where they needed to go, instead of having to find them a ride," Ryan said. "And when we do go somewhere, I have to pay four or five people (for gas) to get us all there.

"I have booster seats and car seats. It's a lot."

Ryan, is a 29-year-old single stay-at-home mother of five sons and five daughters, who range in age from 2 months to 13 years.

Birth control needs to be mandatory for EVERYONE on welfare. Period.

Enough of this crap...

“A stay-at-home mom.”

More like a “stay in bed mom”.

Somebody will donate a car big enough to haul around her brood and then who is going to pay for the gas?

RoNeisha and Retinea are two names mentioned in article. I have a belief that people with silly names tend to be socially maladjusted/liberal.

Why accept the given of “on welfare”?

Remove welfare, remove the problem.

Wow! Maybe Obama will bail her out and buy her a van, and pay her mortgage, heating bills, groceries, and oh yeah college tuition....etc. Wait a minute, I am being soooo selfish because I don’t want to pay higher taxes to support this abstinence challenged woman and her kids.

Note that the article is about FACED, a faith-based community outreach agency that focuses on assisting the low-income.

There's a definite question as to whether this is enabling the mother or is providing some stabilty for the children, or both. I volunteered at a program that was publicly funded and assisted low-income families (it actually targeted abused and neglected kids, but the mothers weren't told that), but it was actually designed to teach parenting/life skills and responsibility, while we cared for the children--to help to clean them up and get them some solid enrichment time.

I'm wondering if FACED looks much at the long-term...it seems they do, from their description, but it doesn't seem to sink in to Miss Ryan, who looks at them as a taxi and financial service.

At least all 18 kids know who their daddy is.

Yeah its obvious with them, the family traits run deep.

The names don’t cause social maladjustment.

The culture that produces the names and the maladjustment is the cause of both.

Beautiful family. I think she took God very seriously when she read “go forth and procreate.” lol. Well on the bright side that is 10 additional Americans. We are always crying about the lack of people having kids and the immigrants taking over America. One thing I can say is she is doing her part. Now where is that husband of hers. lol. Seriously wish her the best of luck. Obviously a pro-life girl there.

Ahem - her feral sexual behavior brings in welfare checks every month, so it is indeed rewarded. Probably Section 8 housing, some kind of free medical care, WIC food, Food Stamps, etc. She is quite rewarded.

I sent an Email to neal boortz asking this question, and I’ll ask everyone here too since I’m not smart enough to find out any other way, maybe someone here is.

Was there EVER a case of an unmarried American woman having 10 kids BEFORE the great society?

That question could be better asked by asking her “ Who and where are the daddies”? LOL
