21 children by 11 different women... and he's only 29

[Danno 1,228]

Seems like a humorous story to the reporters and I guess for most of those involved, it is a little funny but it's not funny to the public who are paying an untold amount of money to support all these kids and I doubt it will be funny to the slew of bastarrd kids left behind by this guy.

Q: Which is greater, his right to keep procreating or the States right to order a vasectomy?

Man fathers 21 children by 11 different women... and he's only 29

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...........

'It's frustrating, but usually, when I ask he gives it to me,' she said.

Perhaps she should not let him "give it" to her anymore.

Oldest excuse in the book...has he ever heard of a condom?

That Asian anchor is HOT! But, back to the comment. Those women are sluts.

You remember the 13 year old father? He WASN'T the father. English tabloids peddle some interesting stories that are not grounded in truth. Have fun

He should be castrated.

[Dr. Obvious 49]

Well, isn't he quite the winner otherwise?

He should be castrated.

Don't think that would work...in effect I think it would make the situation worse, psychologically and all that. He obviously needs to be made more aware of birth control and the consequences of having unprotected sex (Pregnancies, VD, AIDS etc)......if not then vasectomy it is!

Of course there are very few out-of-wedlock births by poor fellows like Desmond.

There may, or there may not be. My point was, you can't trust the Daily Mail to deliver an accurate story.

he didn't make these babies himself... why is it just him that gets to be castrated? It takes two to procreate..

[Niels Bohr 72]

Waste all of his money on the lottery and hopes he can get out of this mess. Scary. His life is over. He's better sittin in jail for life.

You're right. It would be easier to sterilize every woman who he may sleep with instead.
