I can't even imagine how much of a check you get from welfare for 9 kids. Between food stamps, social security, WIC, welfare and clothing vouchers I think he could manage. I don't think he ever put much thought into how much work his wife had to do with the 8 they had before the 9th birth killed her. It is easy to go to work and make money if someone else is doing all of the hard work at home. I just want to hug all of those kids.
According to the
Omaha World-Herald, the guy has some problems.
Apparently he tried to cope for a while after his wife died, and the oldest daughter took care of the younger kids, getting them fed, to bed, to school, to doing their homework. Incredibly, the oldest daughter managed to graduate from high school with honors, and a year early at that.
But it was just too much; the father reminds one very much of the worthless freeloading bum the wily primitive, although unlike the wily primitive, his kids all had the exact same mother.
The father and the mother were apparently results of the Age of Aquarius, although it does appear they remained monogamous and married circa 20 years until she died.
The father left Omaha last night (Thursday night), in a vehicle with a hot chick.
However, it appears that even if one abandons such children under this law, this does NOT alleviate him of any financial responsibilities. Wherever the father goes, he's going to be docked for support.
