A man aged 29 has fathered 21 children with 11 different women, it emerged yesterday. Desmond Hatchett’s brood came to light after authorities in Tennessee in the U.S. took him to court for non-payment of child support. He has apparently set a U.S. record but said: ‘It just happened.’ He added that he would not have any more children. ‘I’m done. I’ll say I’m done,’ he said.
Hatchett, who earns a minimal wage, told TV reporters he knows the names and ages of all his offspring. Their ages range from newborn to 11 years old. Authorities in Knoxville said they plan to take half of his monthly salary to pay for the youngsters but officials said that would work out to just over £1 a week for each. His lawyer Keith Pope said: ‘The children can’t all be supported by Desmond, so the state of Tennessee has had to step in.’
Many Knoxville residents called for him to be castrated. He even boasted of fathering four children by different women in the same year. Hatchett’s name appeared on court documents 11 times representing 15 of his 21 children. U.S. authorities are now braced for more women coming forward to claim Hatchett is the father of their children after he appeared on local TV. He said the women he was involved with all knew he had other children. One mother, who has two children with Hatchett, said she should get £44 a month but rarely receives any child support. ‘It’s frustrating, but usually, when I ask he gives it to me,’ she said. Authorities in Knoxville ordered Hatchett to court to explain how he intends to pay child support.
He arrived for the hearing with just over £300.
Maybe we should hook him up with this moron…
Dang I thought I had the record! 8 more and I’ll be ahead of him. But seriously this is an obvious case of child abuse. The court has stepped in to garner his wages but haven’t stepped in to prevent him from doing this again. He seemed to be appreciating the attention the press was giving him so there is no doubt this will only encourage him to have more. What’s worse the news reporter seemed to find it humorous. Where is the outrage?
Why is the man being blamed in this age of equal rights and responsibilities?
I say “bullshit”!
There is birth control, common sense, waiting for the right man, etc.
Females are responsible for their reproduction; not men. End of story.
Btw … I laugh that they put him in jail.
Exactly how does that help him pay his child support?
And he gets breakfast, lunch and dinner every day and a place to live. I like it!
If only he becomes a fad…we need the babies…super stud…lets get cool music going on!
With all the billions piped over to wall street bigwigs, banks, brokerage houses, fat cats…surely a few million can be diverted to pay for these kids…
We can always borrow it from China or print it, monetize the program…
Octomom has luscious full lips.
Why do I feel that Bob Barker should pop up at the end of this story – Help control the population. Have your deadbeats spayed or neutered.
I nominate Alfred1 as President of Idiocracy!!! Who among you will second the motion?
I’ve lived in Memphis for 15 years and have become a firm believer in forced sterilization, other wise this imbecile will continue his rein of terror.
George W. Bush’s abstinence policy really works.
# 24 Alfred1,
“Octomom has luscious full lips.”
To remind everyone that’s the end where you put your penis into and not the other one
Knee grows be funny and shit.
As a Californian, I demand that the idiot friend of Octomom who donated his sperm for most of her children get sued for child support payments by the state. What the hell did he think was going to happen when she asked for this contribution? Technically, they are his kids. Now pay for your little “experiment”.
#31 As a taxpayer who has watched trillions of dollars go to foreign entities, wall street fat cats, and labor unions…I say supporting population growth would finally be something I could support…
Besides…just print a few more dollars.
It would have been true stimulus had Obama not channeled billions to the rich…but ended all abortions and paid women to care for all the babies…if their moms didn’t want to.
The infant items etc would have reversed the flow…then the tipping point never would have been reached…
“Many Knoxville residents called for him to be castrated.”
Somebody tell them. Vasectomy has been around since 1897. Along with reading and tooth brushes. The Knoxville “Many” need to be interred in reeducation camps.
That’s a lot of Democrats they brought into the world. All living off the taxpayer. You gotta love socialism!
A prime case for the introduction of mandatory retrospective abortion.
I met Alfred1′s parents, couple of nice guys.
#35 All things are possible with socialism! While State money is normally spent to kill infants, in and out of the womb…in a new ear of bipartisanship…Obama care will pay for the birth of these pregnant moms…this will also garner the latino vote..
So get used to it loons…gnash your teeth all you like…more babies are on the way…
And that’s an expenditure I can agree with…
I trust advocates of reproductive rights will support this young man…his job is unfinished…he clearly can assist more women enjoy motherhood.
Obama care clearly has the public mandate to support these children up until a few years after college.
The overwhelming majority of latino voters entering the country are pro life Catholics…if you loons don’t want to lose the latino vote…I suggest you step up to the plate and heartily endorse caring for these children.
