21-Years-Old, Seven Kids

Post by Admiral Valdemar »

BBC News wrote:21-year-old fathers seventh child

A 21-year-old who fathered his first child at 13 is about to become a dad for the seventh time.


Keith Macdonald, from Washington, Tyne and Wear has been branded a "reckless Romeo" after it emerged that all his children are by different women.

He is reported to be living apart from the mother-to-be.

As he is unemployed he does not support his children financially, but Mr Macdonald says he has no plans to father any more children

'Not happy'

The north east has a high rate of teenage pregnancies, with 52 girls per 1,000 under 18 becoming pregnant, as opposed to an England average of 42.

Condom manufacturers also report low sales in the region.

Mr Macdonald said he did not want to have any more children and that his mother has strong views about the situation.

He said: "My mum's not happy about all these kids.

"She tells me to pack it in and keep it in my trousers."
He's needs to be sterilised before he becomes Genghis Khan II.

I despise leechers and especially ones who feel they need to exacerbate the problem by breeding like rabbits. Having been through the dole routine myself, I can safely say there is no shortage of these people.

From the title I thought this thread was going to be about a 21-year-old girl who'd borne seven kids.

This is still pretty horrible though.

The first time I saw that, I read "I despise lechers" and was about to reply angrily about how I know several perfectly respectable lechers who always use proper contraceptive methods and always treat people with respect, even when asking them to bed.

I'm wondering how old was he when he started having sex. I highly doubt it was 13.

yeah sounds just like one of many loosers/trailer trash from my high school and college years. we all know the guy who gets another teen pregnant, and than doesn't do shit, then gets another one, then joins the military and gets a girl in the phillipeans or okanawa pregnant, and all by the time he's 19....

One of my college classmates was 21 and she had four kids, all singletons. The oldest was seven, so you do the math.

I don't know if it was a point in her favor or not that they all had the same father - he was French businessman and he was her mistress, and he had a wife and family back in France. I don't know if it's a point in his favor or not that he bought her and the kids a home and was paying her college tuition. It seemed a pretty weird situation to me.

If she had had a set of twins or two yeah, she could have had 7 by 21.

I suspect this sort of thing is more common than we'd like to think.

Anyways, going to high-school in a semi-rural area, stuff like this isn't really news to me. I've seen a decent number of classmates already pregnant by their freshman years.

Yeah, really

I met him a couple of times. Always struck me as the 40-year-old creep type, but he was definitely French and yes, he was a businessman. Improbable, yes, unlikely, none of us believed her for months... but yeah, it really was as advertised.

I just wonder what the hell her parents had to say about the whole mess. But, not surprisingly, she wasn't on speaking terms with them.

Really, at a certain point I resolved not to ask questions. I already know more than I wanted.

Actually, there's a 17 year old girl in Argentina who has seven kids - two sets of triplets and one other. But this case, being more an oddity, isn't quite as disturbing as the thought that seven different women let this lowlife in their pants.

Okay, I'm trying to determine if that was a typo or not, and now I'm really confused. Was that a typo, or are you actually saying he was her mistress?

Granted, I've seen and taken part in stranger. Safer by far and legal, but stranger.

Once more, we have to wonder why the state can't tie welfare benefits for children to a sterilization program. I understand perfectly why it is immoral and inhumane to forcibly sterilize people, but to sterilize people in return for generously providing for the welfare of their existing children does not strike me as "forcibly". And the fact is that way too many of these worthless parasites seem to breed like rabbits.

Yeah, they're out there. A medical student frined of mine told me in one of his clinicals, he met a 26-year-old grandmother. She was so proud of her 13-year-old daughter who had just become a new mother was only on her first case of venereal disease. :shock:

Remember that article LadyTevar posted a while back, about regions of West Virginia where it is common for people in their 30s to have already lost all of their teeth?

There are worlds apart from what we consider "normal society", and sometimes they're not as far away as we might think.

I think he meant that is should be "she was his mistress" rather than "he was her mistress" ;)

Aside from that though, the whole mistress thing is much more accepted in France, heck, just look at what their current leader has been up to lately. They dont seem to make a scandal out of folks sex lives the same way those of us with more of a victorian heritage do.
