Recession, what recession lets multiply!

With the current global economic recession the vast majority of us have had to make many cut backs,  no more trips overseas, expensive dinners with lots more of just sitting at home and enjoying the simpler and cheaper treats that we would usually would have not pay a second thought to.

Well for most of us anyway.  Apparently the message has not quite reached Desmond Hatchet.   This 33 year old from Knoxville, Tennessee in the US has a way with the ladies.  He has such a way with the ladies he has fathered 30 children with 11 women and now holds the Knoxville County record for his ability to reproduce.

No doubt authorities in China would be having a fit, with their countries one child policy but Desmond has just kept on breeding and has fathered the latest nine of his last 11 children in the last three years.  How he can still walk is mind boggling.

And it seems that his need to reproduce has come back to bite him where it hurts the most, his wallet. He is now back in court for his inability to make payments to the 11 mothers of his 30 children.  Unfortunate while he has been out spreading his seed like no tomorrow he has only been able to get a minimum wage, low paying job.

Well it kind of hard to go up the career ladder when your skill is reproducing.  So, Casanova is now back in court and is pleading with the judge to temporarily halt the payments as he can barely support himself.

While he may be a record holder be it for all the wrong reasons, the authorities seem to be at a loss when it comes to dealing with this type of case. Melissa Gibson, an assistant supervisor with the Knox County child support clerk's office, said with a sigh.  "Yes, we've got several cases with Mr. Hatchett,"

With so many women and children running around can this hero for reproduction remember his children’s names?  Apparently yes when interviewed in 2009 Hatchet told a reporter that he can remember their names and ages.  But that hasn’t helped his child payments, as by law the state must take 50 percent of his salary for child payments.  And this doesn’t make life for the mothers and children any easier.

His attorney in 2009 when interviewed about his financial troubles said

The mothers of the children receive as little as a $1.98 per month in child support after his meagre salary is split up amongst them.  Poetic justice considering that’s the usual price for a condom.

“The children can’t be supported all by Desmond so the state of Tennessee has had to step in”... you look at when they (the mothers) filed. How many children they have, he has several mothers that he has 2 children with and it’s tough.
