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.

That is awful.

terrible!

It just happened?! What kind of BS is that? But I don't blame it all on him - he says all the women knew about his "large" family. All those women should've known better! Disgusting!!

He should be forced to snip/snip. There is no reason for that.

Don't have children if you have no chance of being able to pay for them but that goes for the moms too, i don't think they are innocent at all if they knew about his other children

Thats just rediculous.The man should be forced to get sniped..what ashame

I agree... They should have snip snip him a long time ago. The 16 women should be ashamed of themselves because they all new about all of the kids that he had... His wang wang CAN NOT be that good...
