Man Fathers 30 Children With 11 Different Women

Desmond Hatchett, 33, from Knoxville, Tennessee was in court last week because he is delinquent on his child support payments. He has a minimum wage job and he wants the court to help him pay support for his 30 children.

The children range in age from toddlers to 14 years-old and there are 11 different mothers. He fathered four babies in one year, two times.

Hatchett was in court in 2009 for child support when he had only 21 children. In the last three years, he has fathered nine more children.

Now, he is in court again. This time he is asking the court to help him pay his child support. Hatchett complains the state already takes half of his pay. Half isn't much as some of the women only receive $1.49 per month.


Hatchett has some nerve asking taxpayers to pay his child support when more than likely, taxpayers already support them in one way or another.  If he didn't know before, he knew he couldn't afford to pay when he was in court in 2009.  But what does he do...he fathers nine more children.

He should be required to work a second full time job to help support his children. If the women aren't working, they should be required to get  jobs.

Some of these women had to know this man had more children than he could support.  So why have a child with him?  Apparently, there is a shortage of men in Knoxville or there is a shortage of women with common sense.

Taxpayers aren't responsible for supporting children he fathered. The money would be better spent paying for him to have a vasectomy.
