CHICAGO, Dec. 10 (UPI) -- A Chicago woman, accused of leaving her nine children home unattended, told police she had to go and have sex to make the rent money.

Thirty-year-old Tonia S. Haywood was arrested for felony abandonment for leaving her children alone for four days last week, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. She is being held in lieu of $60,000 in bail.

A tipster informed police that Haywood left the children in the care of her 14- year-old daughter.

The mother of nine, left food in the the apartment and the children appeared to be healthy, said Jill Manuel, a spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

The children are currently being cared for by Haywood's mother while DCFS investigates whether the grandmother can care for all the children. Prosecutors said that Haywood had made only $420 of the $450 needed to pay her rent.

Hey, a girl's gotta have a hobby!

More welfare money that way.

High housing costs?

Lots of interesting social issues within this article. As far as the number of kids; where are the fathers? Also, some 'choice' proponents would have said she should have had abortions.....also, what about other people who let 14 year olds babysit?

"Hey, a girl's gotta have a hobby!"

A hobby! Sounds more like a career! :O)

At least she found some work that's hard for the free traitors to outsource...or makes it hard for the free traitors to outsource...or makes the free traitor's jobs hard...or she gives them harder jobs.

> 9 kids by age 30... ya think she'll ever figure out what caused that?

It's caused by increased welfare checks.

And you thought...? :-)

4 days! That guy must be getting the same emails I'm getting.

[Born in a Rage]

The article doesn't say she was on welfare.

Appears she got pregnant the first time at 15...
Nine by age thirty.

No support in site.
And $450 rent isn't that much. In for days, she only made $420, which she could have made working double shifts at McDonalds (with overtime).

A good waitress can make that much in a day or two of tips (in the right setting).

Sounds like she has only one thing going for her and it ain't her brains or beauty.

Hmmm. Go out and have sex to pay the rent, have another kid as a result, rent goes up. Go out and have more sex to pay higher rent, have another kid as a result, rent goes up again. Repeat ad nauseam. I've prepared this simple graph, which, when extrapolated, clearly shows that in 100,000 years, this woman will have 125,000 children and be paying $5.6 million per month in rent:

I think having sex is what put her in this predicament.
