A 33-year-old Knoxville, Tenn. man with 30 children appeared in court this week to ask the state for child-support help, Memphis news station WREG reported Wednesday.
Desmond Hatchett has fathered 30 children -- which is believed to be the record in Knox county, according to the Los Angeles Times -- with 11 different women. His youngest children are toddlers and his oldest is 14.
Hatchett reportedly asked the court to give him a break on his payments, claiming that he's struggling to make ends meet with his minimum-wage job. Currently, the state requires him to divide 50 percent of his earnings among the 11 women, some of whom receive as little as $1.49 a month, WREG reports.
How did Hatchett come to father so many children? “I had four kids in the same year. Twice," he told Volunteer TV in 2009. He also told a local news station that year that he was "done" having kids (he had only 21 at the time).
Hatchett isn't the only serial father to make headlines. NFL player Antonio Cromartie, 28, famously fathered 10 children by eight women in six states.

With this many kids I don't care if he's making ends meet or not. If he had made the end of his dick meet a condom he wouldn't have this problem. He might as well get used to the idea of 2 or 3 jobs for the rest of his life. No sympathy.

It's always us. 30 kids with no dependable father, no real chance of being educated properly, great odds of being on the system for the rest if their lives, obviously has a mother retarded as shit if she knowingly and willing allowed her egg to be fertilized by this loser knowing he had this many children. Sad.

i seriously doubt that when he meets someone he tells them how many kids he has... and since the mothers are raising them, he could easily tell them that he does not have any.
I honestly believe that THIS guy should be forced into sterilization! maybe even chemical castration (its reversible). i wanna know when was the last time any of these adults were tested???

That's why I said IF she had children by him knowing this information. They could very well not know, but I highly doubt not one of them did know he had kids.

This has nothing to do with anything. Black men have consistently and habitually been portrayed as baby making deadbeats and it's sad that this guy just perpetuated the sentiment and did nothing to refute it.
