In reply to the discussion: Man who fathered 30 kids says he needs a break—on child support [View all]RoadRage
(4,398 posts)66. What about this jerks kids? All 30 of them...
I realize a large portion of the population doesn't have a father figure in their life.. but this jerk seems intent on having 30 kids, and not giving a SHIT about any of the kids he's fathering and not planning on being around to watch them grow up.
At what point can you call this gross neglect, and arrest him for this? Especially since some of the "women" he's knocking up are 19 - 20 years old. Sure.. they "SHOULD" know better.. but to be fair, they are having 1 - 4 babies.. he's having 30.
I have always thought that forced sterilization is not something that the government should ever be involved in... but then I read stories like this and wonder if there shouldn't be exceptions to a rule.
