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.

I don't think she should have any say in the matter at this point. I say sterilize her after the first one.
After looking at that photo, I am left wondering...is # 11 on the way?
Maybe we are looking at this the wrong way-my child support for my first child is 409 a month. If thats the standard, multiply by 10, and you have a healthy, monthly paycheck. Four grand a month and she should be able to buy a car. Thats a lot of jack, Four Grand a month!
This woman agrees with you.
This is either SERIOUS mental retardation and a complete inability to understand cause and effect, or some kind of pathological cruelty.
What normal human being can look at their child and say “ I have no food for you”, or continuously say ‘no’ to the basic requests/needs of every child for necessities and comforts?
How can it not break the heart to do this to a child?
One child...two...how many can you do it to? How do you continue to lessen your ability to help the children you have by making more? More to suffer and do without?
The children are here- they didn’t ask to be- they must be cared for BUT, BUT, BUT the cycle has to stop.
Birth control and/or sterilization should be a requirement if one wants to be supported by the government.
That’s not to say that even a total governmental cut-off of support would stop some women from reproducing like alley cats. They simply want sex without consequences and don’t give a rats behind about the results of it( kids). They feel nothing watching them suffer and do without.
There is simply a total disconnect and absence of basic human emotions and reasoning.
I don’t know how you stop people like that without treating them like things instead of people.
But I do know that the CHILDREN of this woman- and others like her- should know that the lifestyle their mother chose-and condemned them to- will NOT be possible for them.
Aspirin, one between the knees and don’t drop it.
I have never understood those who believe that Christians are supposed to project and impose their values on those who are not and have never behaved as Christians. This women has obvious not following Christian values, why should she be credited for happening to seem to follow one Biblical mandate?
