Father of 30 kids by 11 women can't pay child support

Published May 18, 2012

| FoxNews.com

A Tennessee man's problems paying child support aren't so surprising: He has 30 children with 11 different women.

Desmond Hatchett, 33, of Knoxville, is pleading with the state to help him pay for child support, citing the fact that he earns minimum wage. Hatchett made national news in 2009, when his tally stood at 21 children.

“I had four kids in the same year," he said. "Twice.”

The mothers of his children are supposed to get anywhere from $25 a month to $309 a month for help raising the children. The state takes half of Hatchett's paycheck to divide among the mothers of his children, but now Hatchett has petitioned the state to help him meet his obligations.

It’s “racism” not to expect the gubmint(better known as the taxpayers) to foot the bill for his chiluns’ expenses./sarc

One might think a guy with that kind of ‘initiative’ could hold ten jobs?

And women #2-#11 thought, “I think it would be an awesome idea to have a kid by this fantastic specimen of manhood who can’t even support the ones he already has!”

My dogs are more discriminating.

gonna stick my neck out here: if he was white, he’d have lost his license and/or been incarcerated about 28 children ago.

Assuming $7.50 minimum wage, 2000 hours/year ($15,000 AGI) and he files single and claims three of his darling children (he can legally borrow three from a baby mama who has six - or one from each of three or something), he will owe no taxes, get $5751 Earned Income Tax Credit and $1800 Additional Tax Credit. His refund will be $7551 + whatever he had withheld.

That would give each of his 30 children $250 and change.

He’s got lots of breeding years left to him as well.

A kinder, more functional society would handle this easily: a life sentence in a State prison earning money at hard labor could at least keep this specimen’s breeding instincts in check. His wimens should likewise be taken out of circulation into prisons until past the age of breeding, their children put in an orphanage working for their keep as well. Perhaps then those 30 beings would begin to understand the virtues of a better lifestyle, and confer those values - through example - to the next generation.

Or, we can simply wait until our society falls apart under the strain of these kinds of reprobates, and hope the roving mobs of zombies clean up the mess in their quest for food.

Wow! He added 9 more in 3 years! How many children will he have by the time he is said and done? Unfortunately, being that men are fertile longer than women, being he doesn’t have to carry the children, and being that there appear to be women dumb enough to sleep with him despite his situation, I see the potential for more children the state will have to take care of. Besides the taxpayers, the real victims in this are the innocent children who have such an irresponsible father and are growing up in broken homes with a minimum of 29 siblings out there who are all split up between 11 women. Sad. From a biological standpoint, he has an advantage, though. He’ll have many, many descendants. Here’s to hoping they turn out better than their father.

"You breed ‘em, you feed ‘em."

There is part of me that wants to do exactly what this guy did. Breed as much as possible and let the state worry about raising them.

The smarter part of me tells me that unless I'm around to teach them values, that they won't really be my descendents.

So what to do about this guy? I'm not in favor of letting his children starve.

Oldest child is 14. He got started when he was 18. Hasn’t come up for air since.

Would have been a lot cheaper if he had just bought about $200 worth of rubbers.
