On paper, one Wisconsin man has twenty, possibly twenty-one children.

Twenty-nine year-old Desmond Hatchett says he wasn't out to set a record, though he certainly holds it in Knox County Juvenile Child Support Court.

Hatchett's children range in age from newborn to eleven. There are at least eleven mothers; probably several more.

Hatchett spent part of Friday afternoon in jail while a child support referee decided how to split up the $400 he brought to court.

The mothers of Hatchett's children are supposed to get anywhere from $25 to $309 a month, but when his paycheck is garnished amongst them all, some women only get a $1.98 a month.

No matter what color, no matter where you come from we are all Gods children. He is wrong, the women are wrong and the negative comments are wrong and we all have done something wrong. How about trying to educate or help someone so they want keep making the same mistakes and pray for the children. If you are a racist, change your life now, so you want be sitting next to him in hell. God Bless you all and the children whos parents are not taking care of them and the children who have parents that are teaching them to hate.
