Can you imagine a man has 21 children? A 29-year-old Tennessee man, Desmond Hatchett, has fathered 21 children with 11 different women. Tennessee is the 14th fastest growing state in the US and is ranked 17th by population. So it proves that most of the Tennessee parents have more than 3 children.
Desmond Hatchett's extended offspring came to light after authorities took him to court for non-payment of child support.
He has apparently set a US record but said: "It just happened."
Mr Hatchett earns a minimal wage. He tells TV reporters that he knows the names and ages of all his offspring who range from newborn to 11 years old.
Authorities in Knoxville said they plan to take half of his monthly salary to pay for the youngsters but officials said that would work out at just over £1 a week for each child.
One mother, who has two children with him, said that she should get £44 a month but rarely receives any child support.

People shouldn't have more kids than they can afford to take care of!! We shouldn't have to pay to support their kids with our taxes!
