Memphis Man Owes Child Support to 15 Women; Has 20+ Kids
WREG ^ | June 13, 2012 | Sabrina Hall

Posted on 06/14/2012 2:07:54 PM PDT by SMGFan

(Memphis) Latoya Shields says she had to sit down when she heard the news, “During the whole relationship, I only knew of four children.” When a prosecutor told her that the father of her child had 20 other children she said her knees buckled, “At that time, three years ago, my child was the 21st child. Yeah, that would be overwhelming for anybody.” She says after spending almost 8 years with Terry Turnage, she had no idea what he what he had been up to. WREG tried to find out by going to Shelby County Juvenile Court. Turnage had filed a petition there to lower his child support payments for 15 different women. Turnage never showed up to the hearing.

I don’t want anybody’s children to starve. But welfare ought to be limited to a monthly package of rice, beans and multivitamins. That’s it.

Nothing else will teach these women to look for a ring on their finger and a paycheck in a man.

I’m tired of hardworking people living within their means and limiting their family to the size they can support, and then getting screwed by these baby mamas. My husband didn’t marry this woman or ten million like her; I didn’t either. And still we pay child support to her, more than the baby daddy ever will.

It’s f——— broken.

Who knew “Idiocracy” was a documentary.

In some places, it's a matter of fact. "Latoya," huh? I'll bet she has sisters named Bulimia and Hysteria.

AH! FATHER’S DAY!

The most confusing day of the year in the ghetto.

Between this guy and the other guy with 30 kids, there are 50 more permanent Jesse Jackson / Al Sharpton plantation voters. I wish we could get off of this merry-go-round of fatherless welfare families. If we cannot change culture (all groups) to decry single motherhood and easy divorce, we will just be adding to this problem!

Who’s paying support for all these kids? (Rhetorical question)

Women are the gatekeepers.

No government support, beyond the rice and beans.

That will help revive some selectivity in women.

The perfect Oblame-o voters; black, multiple children, no husband, and living off welfare and food stamps in public housing.

Still remember Bob Grant’s calling for the Mandatory Sterilization Act of 1970.
These are enemies of society. But keeping “teachers” , head start, preschool employed.

I’d like to get the names of the 21 kids, I’m betting there are some beauties in that bunch.

““Latoya” ?”

Very popular name in Memphis now, along with Letisha and Larond.
When I was born there in 1944 it was a nice city.
My father was a Main Street merchant.
In the past ten years it has flipped from 40% to 60% Afro.
It is now “gone with the wind”.

There is some upside that we're broke and this will all come crashing down soon. One of the upsides is a return to the normal family structure.

What are the odds the half cheeruns hook up somewhere down the road?

Polygamy is like peeing in your own gene pool.

This is the third diverse Tennessean that has fathered more than 20-30+ children by several women. There is a culture around here that a certain ethnic group thrive upon having numerous children out of wedlock and then having welfare support the kids. NE Mississippi has several of these individuals that of I am aware. As long as they are supported by the public trough, nothing is keeping them from continuing this phenomenon.

“This guy, from last month, has got 30, from 11 “women””

Of course Holder will say that this is “cultural” for “his people.” The sad part of it is that these children will most likely end up like their “sperm donor,” unless they are shot during a robbery or home invasion.

Of course none of these pregnancies could ever have happened if the government would have provided free contraception. /s

I can’t help but thinking that those women may also have other children by OTHER fathers.

I had a woman at some customer service desk the other day introduce herself as “Lavoris”.

I had to laugh, because I thought it was a mouthwash from the sixties or seventies that they didn’t make any more.

I figured they had some computer program that spit out names like “Latashina” and “Lonatalina” and such. I thought it would be pretty funny if it spit out “Lavoris”.

But I guess they still make Lavoris, which makes it less funny but more cruel, somehow.

I guess.

Sad part of all this is that you, me, and everyone who pays taxes of any kind, are subsidizing this African Don Juan
