29-year-old father of 21 ordered to pay child support with minimum-wage salary

The Volunteer State has a baby-making monster on its hands.
Desmond Hatchett, a minimum-wage earner from Knoxville, Tenn., has heard “Desmond you are the father” 21 times.

‘Desmond Hatchett Plus Baby Mamas Plus 21”
He appeared in a juvenile court last week for 11 cases involving 15 of his children. Eleven seems to be his lucky number.
Hatchett’s children range in age from 11 years old to 11 months old.
Keith Pope, Hatchett’s attorney, said there is no way Hatchett can support that many children.
“The state of Tennessee has had to step in,” he told KCAL 9.
Some of the Hatchett’s baby mamas only receive $1.98 a month in child support.
For his part, the Hatchett said all of his baby mamas knew what they were getting into.
He said he didn’t intend to have 21 children and has had his fill of reproducing.
“It just happened,” he told KCAL 9.
