“I’m done!” That was the words from 33-year-old Knoxville,
Tenn., resident Desmond Hatchett , who has
reportedly set a Knox County record for his ability to reproduce. According to the news, he has 30 children with
11 women then. And nine of those children were born between 2009-2012.
However, it was gathered that Desmond vowed in a 2009 TV interview, saying he wouldn’t father
more children. Why not?
Hatchett , according to
the news is struggling to make ends meet
on his minimum-wage job. His inability to make child-support payments on such a
meagre salary also means he’s back in court again and again, most recently to
ask for a break on those payments.
“Yes, we’ve got several
cases with Mr. Hatchett,” Melissa Gibson, an assistant supervisor with the Knox
County child support clerk’s office, said with a sigh.Under the law, there’s nothing officials can
do to force Hatchett to keep his pants on.Gibson said “If there’s something out there like
that, I’m unaware of it,” before
adding, “It definitely needs to be.”
Gibson said Hatchett is believed to hold the Knox County record
for most children. Gibson went further to say that she couldn’t say whether any
of his children receive public assistance. The youngest is a toddler; the
oldest is 14 (16 years) now 2014.
According to law, when Hatchett is working, he is required to
turn over 50% of his wages for child support — the maximum allowed under law. Child support
payments are based in part on the ages and needs of the children.Some of the
mothers of Hatchett’s children get only $1.49 a month!.
