"I tried to find someone who would love me for me," said Frazier, who also described himself as a victim of a poor upbringing. Frazier said he thinks he fathered only three of the children -- two daughters and a son. :nopity: :nopity: :nopity: :nopity:

Man jailed for dodging child support for 14 kids

Saturday, April 11, 2009


(04-11) 17:46 PDT Flint, Mich. (AP) --

Authorities in Michigan say a man fathered 14 children with 13 different women and owes more than $530,000 in unpaid child support.

The Flint Journal reports 42-year-old Thomas Frazier was jailed Thursday. Court records say he hasn't made a support payment in six years.

The newspaper says the unemployed man could be held for 90 days if he doesn't pay $27,900.

Frazier says he thinks he fathered only three of the children and that it's unrealistic for authorities to expect him to pay child support that was $3,000 a month at one point.

If all men were men and took responsibility for the children they father
it would go a long way to helping their children in need as well as the mothers who struggle to raise them alone. It's guys like this who make me ashamed for my gender. Neuter him.

6. it took em this long to stop him, giv'm a discount for get'n a vasectomy

Frazier said he is unemployed and he was returning to Flint at the time of his arrest. He said he had $5,000 in cash, which was found by police, that he planned to use as a payment on his child support.

the kids called Crack, meth, heroin, weed, jack d, & hooker

8. Vasectomy

should be the price of this irresponsible clod's release.

And yes, I'd say the same of a woman who had kids by various men, dumped them on the men, and then disappeared, offering no support of any type.

You just don't do that to your kids, and if you do, there should be no more of your kids to suffer.

10. Yeah, gotta agree.

9. Putting him in jail won't solve anything.

A court ordered vasectomy would make more sense, although unfortunately that would never happen.

11. he won't knock up any more women in prison

[ddeclue]

13. That's not the role of gov't.

And is anyone court ordering sterilizations for the WOMEN who got pregnant by this man in your "plan"?

It takes two people to have a baby. Why is it always the man who gets bashed for it?

14. If one woman gave birth to 13 kids and could not afford them,

then yes, I personally would be happy to see a court-ordered tubal ligation.

[ddeclue]

12. Um and jailing him will create the unpaid money out of thin air how?
