You thought Former NFL Running Back Travis Henry was a Dead Beat Dad; Check this Guy Out! Share your thoughts on the blog

written by Jouran Crosby

Read the article I pasted below about this Tennessee man who admitted in child support court to having 21 kids and he is only 29 years old. The crazy thing is the State of Tennessee is considering taking the max child support amount which is 50%, but that would only give each kid about $2 a month.

The guy says he is not trying to set a record, but I mean dude you work a minimum wage job and it seems like he is purposely sleeping with these women unprotected and having kids by them. Does he think he is going to get a reality show so he can pay for them? I think in situations like this he should be subject to a court ordered vasectomy, so he can't have any more of them.

Here is the biggest punchline ever, he says he is not a deadbeat because he knows every kids name, birthday and ages of all his children. Wow are you freaking kidding me? How about instead of laying down with chicks, he go get a second job and some education so that his irresponsible attitude is not a continued burden on taxpayers for the next 20 years. Now we all know that this dude is going to have more kids, so why he playing by saying he doesn't plan to have anymore?

Man o Man you gotta love ignorance at times. Let me pose this question, if many of the women knew about this man and his kids; why did they sleep with him unprotected? Or sleep with him period? I think a lot of them knew what they were getting into, thus the blame should fall on them as well. First you have Octomom who already had like 6 or 7 kids before she gave birth to 8 more; and now this guy.

- Tennessee man tells child support court he has 21 children

As if Octomom wasn't bad enough, a Tennessee man, 29 year old Desmond Hatchett has now fathered at least 21 children he can't support. Hatchett was in child support court again last week. His name appeared on the dockett 11 times in one day, representing 15 of his children.
Hatchett says he wasn't out to set a record. He says he never intended to have this many children, "It just happened." He fathered the children by at least 11 different women and he claims all of the mothers knew about his large family. The children range in age from newborn to 11 years old.
The question Knox County officials now face is how to support all these children. Hatchett works a minimum wage job and by law the state can only take 50% of his paycheck for child support. By the time that money is split 21 ways, some of the mothers get less than $2 per month. That leaves the taxpayers footing a large portion of the bill for these children.

Even though Hatchett can't support the children he has, there is nothing the state can do to prevent him from having more. Hatchett reports that he had 4 children in one year, twice. He says he's done having children now, but only time will tell. He does say that he's a good father and knows the names, ages, and birthdates of all of his children.

All of the blame can't be placed on Hatchett in this case. One has to wonder about the women who chose to have his children. In the end, the children and the taxpayers of Tennessee will pay for their choices for years to come.
