So I was reading this article and I find it disturbing that one man has fathered so many children with so many different women.

I think he should at least let his future dates know that he has so many children and cannot take care of them. I have nothing against people having big families. But at some point a line must be drawn when it gets out of control. I wonder if all these women know about each other and if the children are involved with each other.

What do you think?
How do you think all these kids will handle it emotionally?

So What Happened?

I do think that people should have their freedoms even if I don’t agree, but I think this is going way beyond what anyone would consider moral.

I wonder if he has some type of sickness that he feels the need to make so many children.

I agree that women with so many children from different fathers are just as bad. It saddens me to think that people can be so irresponsible.

As I've said before SO many times....it's all in the picking.

I'm sorry--yes he's a freak--but I don't think I can say much more for the women who have made babies WITH him.

As my grandmother used to say "Be choosy. You can find a loser any day of the week!"

And no--I don't believe that the number of children you make warrants a "break" on child support.

I think they are ALL to "blame". He didn't "do it" by himself. And should he have to disclose it??? wellll.... I think that for the most part that sorta falls under the Buyer Beware rules. Going to have sex with someone? You should do your due diligence to find out exactly who you are having sex with.

And I find it morally repugnant that he has fathered so many children with so many different women.

I have to wonder about the women he reproduces with. Four in one year? He has to be targeting a specific type of woman. I get accidents happen but statistically it is nearly impossible to have eight accidents with eight different women in two different years. These sound like planned kids which takes a special kind of woman, ya know?

As far as the kids go it doesn't sound like they had a chance at normal.

Perhaps he should be made to wear some type of insignia on his clothing - like a large letter "F" to represent his....fertility.

Everyone in this mess (mothers, father) are responsible for their poor choices.

I really feel for the kids, though. I can't even imagine what sort of odds they will have to overcome. There's no real solution to the problem, without having the guy on a work-release program-- he needs to be monitored because he can't seem to control himself-- but that would be on the taxpayer's dime. (At least his entire paycheck could be garnished and he wouldn't be as able to get another woman pregnant... although there is probably some very lonely and unhappy woman out there who isn't scared off by the words "work release program".) ugh.

My mother had three kids from three different marriages; my maternal sister has had eight children (five now living) from three different men as well. There is a mindset among some women that having a baby with a man will cement/ensure that relationship (I believe that was the thinking in all of these cases), and I know other women who have done the same. It's a real trap in every way and the kids suffer the most.

I think any man with way more than a reasonable amount of children that they are not taking care of in any shape, way, or form should get "fixed"
And that goes for any woman too.

I think the guy is a dirt bag with no sense of responsibility. I think the kids will handle it the same way all of the other tons of kids out there with 1 absentee parent or another handle it.

Did not read the article but my oldest grandson's dad was invited to be on one of those TV shows where they do paternity testing. He would not go because he didn't want to be booed by the audience. My daughter tried for weeks to get him to go so they could have a free vacation in NY....

I was talking to a friend one day at church and mentioned I had to get my grandson back to XXX and she said "Please say you're not talking about XXX. I think at least half the mothers in my center say he's the father of at least one of their children."

Now think about this, her child care center is licensed for 115 children. It is in an older school building so they have lots of classrooms and room for lots and lots of little ones.

So in the event my grandson wants to date a girl that he might fall in love with an eventually marry he must first ask the mother "Is it possible she is my sister.....".

I think he is repugnant, I think the children will handle it badly, I think that women should look long and hard at whom they elect to be the father of their children and be way more discriminant. You can probably imagine how happy I am that a court can decide to uphold a law allowing aborting an innocent baby-and a grown man can't be made to get a vasectomy-super.

Seriously, nobody is making these women sleep with him. Nobody is preventing them from using birth control. And nobody is forcing them to have a baby. Sorry - if you choose to have a child with someone you are not planning on spending your life with, you are on your own in my mind. Hopefully none of these kids end up meeting and falling for each other.
