Man fathers 21 children by 11 different women... and he's only 29
Daily Mail ^ | May 28, 2009 | Paul Thompson

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.

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.

Darwin would say this irresponsible jerk has successfully adapted, and is one of the fittest human males for survival.

That's just silly. Having lots of children doesn't make you successful. Having children that survive to adulthood and produce successful offspring makes you successful. Something tells me this guy isn't.

Men who impregnate and then abandon should be tracked down, and charged with child neglect. It should be a felony offense.

Indentured servitude for the life of the child. Unless they can pay, no free ride, no free lunch, no free anything, that goes for banks, automobile manufacturers, the Senate, the House, inhabitants of jails prisons, etc, and then I woke up from my dream.

He should be taken to the local vet and “fixed”.

His idol must be BB King, who has 15 children by 15 different women. Surprisingly, BB King doesn't have children by his two wives.

It is better to do what he did than to have used contraception. I believe that true Christians know contraception is evil.

Of course fornication is evil, but my point about contraception holds.

You must have missed the comment on this thread by a "conservative" who suggested abortion.

The welfare dependent mothers of many should be made to come up with a list of names, so that DNA testing can be done.

There is NO constitutional right to bury the landscape in bastards!

It does not bode well for the future of the human race when those with IQs considerably below 100 mass produce and the smartest of us only have one child. I wonder if those who oppose the concept of evolution accept the possibility of “devolution”.

He wouldn’t be related to former University of Tennessee running back Travis Henry would he? Henry fathered 8 children with 8 different mothers before taking a break in the slammer.

What you are pecking at, is the reason why Socialism fails; and Communism, even more so. It goes against the grain of the process of evolution by natural selection.

I hate to break this to you, but if evolution is true, then everything we do, bar none, is by definition, natural.

I'm with you on this.

That is no record, because my grandfather had 21 brothers and sisters making it 22. Eight with first wife, who died, and then 14 with the second wife, however that was in early 1900’s. ...at least he supported them all with farming, and look at the free labor.

The beginnings of the new caste society. How are you going move from the underclass to the upperclass when there is a 60 point IQ difference.

The issue here is not that he’s so freaking fertile, it’s how he managed to hook up with so many women not using birth control.

That's not really so difficult, the women have probably all chosen "welfare mother" as their profession.
