Father of 30 kids by 11 women can't pay child support



A Tennessee man's problems paying child support aren't so surprising: He has 30 children with 11 different women.

Desmond Hatchett, 33, of Knoxville, is pleading with the state to help him pay for child support, citing the fact that he earns minimum wage. Hatchett made national news in 2009, when his tally stood at 21 children.

“I had four kids in the same year," he said. "Twice.”

The mothers of his children are supposed to get anywhere from $25 a month to $309 a month for help raising the children. The state takes half of Hatchett's paycheck to divide among the mothers of his children, but now Hatchett has petitioned the state to help him meet his obligations.

The children range in age from toddlers to 14 years old.

(Knoxville, TN – WREG) Desmond Hatchett is pleading with the state of Tennessee to help him pay for child support.

With 30 kids, who could afford to pay child support? Yes, 30 children by 11 different “baby mamas.”

Desmond explained how it all happened, well you know what we mean, “I had four kids in the same year. Twice.”

The children range in age from toddlers to 14 years old. He was last in court in 2009, at which time he had 21 children.

That means he’s had at least 9 more children in the last 3 years.

Hatchett only has a minimum wage job, which means some of the moms receive as little as… $1.49 a month.

if only Tennessee had a strict abstinence only education policy...

Forced sterilization would be better.

Just wondering by why did you feel compelled to show the man's picture?

Just wondering why it would matter?

I think we should all see who this worthless scum is. Heck, they should hand out fliers to all the women around the area that he lives in to let them know about how worthless he really is.

Heck, we are going to end up paying for his kids since he can't.

Wanna play with Census numbers or FBI statistics? Maybe post out-of-wedlock birthrate numbers? Numbers of illegitimate kids? Single-parent households? How about then break it down demographically?

All of those are important factors. Still doesn't explain the need for a picture.

I guess you'll have to asked the original poster. Why do you have a problem with it? Does it offend you?

No I"m not offended at all. It just doesn't add anything to the story. I find it odd that someone would go through the trouble of showing the guy's face.

Does it also piss you off when the print the race of an armed robber they're looking for?

The picture means nothing

This does matter.

72% of blacks have out of wedlock children
53% of Hispanics have out of wedlock children
29% of Whites have out of wedlock children

Out of wedlock children are more likely to be poor and uneducated.

If you click the link you see the website the story came from also has his picture. So stop with the racial angle, it's almost like you're apol;ogizing for his color.

The photo accompanied the Yahoo article. I wonder why they included his photo....... maybe a photo of the person the story is about adds to the story.

He probably believes it's free advertising for the ladies.

This idiot is making it harder for me to provide for the two kids I fathered with the one woman (to whom I'm married) I fathered them with.

He deserves open scorn. Posting his pic expedites that.

As fertile as this MOFO is...I hope everyone runs from him when they recognize him from this pic. His pimp hand is very strong.
