Flint mother Latrica Ryan of 10 looks to community for help

by RoNeisha Mullen | The Flint Journal

FLINT, Michigan -- With 10 kids and no vehicle, Latrica Ryan is used to juggling.

Going to a movie or out for dinner is a like plotting a major tactical undertaking. Not that such outings happen that much.

"It would really be nice if I could take my kids where they needed to go, instead of having to find them a ride," Ryan said. "And when we do go somewhere, I have to pay four or five people (for gas) to get us all there.

"I have booster seats and car seats. It's a lot."

Ryan, is a 29-year-old single stay-at-home mother of five sons and five daughters, who range in age from 2 months to 13 years.

Yeah, this was posted last month.

Great, a zombie breeding machine

No doubt Latrica's 10 kids survive on welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, etc., and probably she's never been married. Wouldn't be surprising that a half dozen or more "fathers" are not identified.

This is a cultural reality, where such irresponsible behaviour is somehow not being accommodated to her liking by those "rich folks".....but she voted for The Messiah, so her income and needs will be forthcoming at a greater level from someone else .

Best help she could get? The following advice:

“keep your legs together and deal with what you have brought on yourself.”

#1: Birth control. #2: Put children up for adoption with a decent (conservative) family.

And where are the sperm donors?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

I read the article...and the comments (alot of Flint FReepers?)...but the question does beg...where are the fathers of this brood? At some point, can't the social service types advise towards birth control (or lifestyle change)? The youngest is two months old...so, whilst she had nine (under the age of 12) there was a babydaddy of some kind present for at least a few hours. Or does social services provided sitters so that mama can go party?

On a happy note, I guess Ms. Ryan thinks Obama will provide her with the needed washer and dryer...

Most families, conservative or not, do not want black American kids. They step over them on their way to Romainia, or Russia or Ecudor or China.

Another poster child for the culture of entitlement and total dependence.

I give my share, particularly around the holidays and, given a choice, this parasite would never be on my list.

No sympathy here.

There is something to what you say.

But on the other hand, whites who try to adopt black kids can run into a lot of trouble from activists who insist that only black families should be allowed to do so. That phenomenon is also very real.

I think we need to see a photo of the size of this tribe. Aren't they adorable?

[hunter112]

Big fat dumb question: If she’s a stay at home mom with ten kids, how does she have enough money for going out for dinner or a movie? What’s so wrong with pizza delivery and Netflix?

[JudyinCanada]

Disgusting, disgusting, and, oh yeah, disgusting.

I'm not going to be online tomorrow so I'll post my opinion today:

I think that the city of Flint should buy her a vehicle of sufficient size for her to take her children where they need to go. And she should also be given access to the city fleet fueling station so she wouldn't have to worry about trying to buy gasoline. Going to the grocery store must be quite an endeavor- the city should just bring her weekly groceries to her. She's got a lot of dependents so she deserves these types of services.

Oh, wait-- tomorrow is New Year's Day, not April Fool's Day. Please disregard the opinion above as it was intended as a gag...

[Oldpuppymax]

I knew a doctor in Pittsburgh who wound up in serious trouble for tying the tubes of welfare receiving baby factories such as this one. Personally I think he was doing a great service for the community.

[Lurker]

My only sympathy is for the kids.

They don't have a prayer.

No, most white Americans are not permitted to adopt black children. My parents have a half-white half-black foster child that they were only allowed to take in because there were no open black foster homes in their county at the time.

[csvset]

I suggest she no longer have intercourse.

[informavoracious]

And she is telling all 10 of her kids that other people - not they themselves - are responsible for their food, clothing, shelter, and entertainment. And those 10 kids will each tell their 10 kids, and so on...
