Man fathered 21 kids with 11 women

Hatchett is supposed to pay between $25 and $309 a month to each mother. But the state can only garnish 50 percent of his wages, to split among all the moms, and he only makes minimum wage. Some of the mothers get as little as $1.98. That means the children often rely on the state for help, one attorney said. Hatchett told the TV station that the women knew about his growing brood, and that he didn't plan on fathering all these children.
