oh dear dad to 20 kids

[ButterflyMcQueen]

Abstract - has one by one woman, 7 by his first wife and 3 by other women plus the 9 by this wife.

Terrible getting his children to sell their presents for his booze.

he had 1 with first girlfriend at 17, 3 with first wife, 7 with next wife and this lady has 9

I can't believe he's not been forced to sober up and work.... well, I can actually - but it stinks

I also can't believe the BBC has lowered themselves so much - channel 4 usually do this

I thought the 14yo getting the baby to sleep was quite sweet in a way, bet he'll make a good dad one day {if he avoids prison} eek.

what a beautiful little girl.

lewis - yes agree about the beeb.

Yes strongbow song very bad, will make Dp watch this prog.

Ah yes thought it rang a bell its The tattoo guy

Thought the article was bad enough certainly not watching the programme there should be complaints made and if these kids arnt taken off of them after this programme hen theres something wrong.

I really don't know why people agree to be on progs like this, do they really have so little insight into themselves and the views of society in general.

I thought the 14yo was lovely, if that was a one off. But as it seems to be the every day thing, then I find it sad.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the older siblings helping out, but it seems they've got the weight of the world on their shoulders.

My friend is one of 10 kids; she used to put the babies to bed and things routinely but her parents would step in if they got upset or whatever... they also don't live in such conditions!

there is a family here in Swindon who have

15 children.

the poveys

they are married and the father works and all the children are theirs and afaik they don't live on benefits.

nooo

this is very sad.

gives people on benefits a bad name..

like we all sit down all day, procreate, spend our money on drink and fags

makes me furious, sheepgomeep (good name!)

at waiting til lo's 6mo to smoke in the same room as them .

The kids look old beyond thier years

and look at them all smoking around thier kids

interested that he is bored because he has nothing to do with his days, obviously hasnt thought of tidying the oig stye that they live in, or god forbid getting a job to pay towards some of his kids

FOUR sons called Mike???!! WTF?

Where to start, poor kids they don't really stand a chance

The house is filthy, the kids are sleeping on bare matresses that is when they actually have a bed

Hoe very, very sad

k, there's an article in the Times about so many children being forcibly removed from their families by SS for next to no good reason and yet these families are just carrying on and on.

what gives?

4 of the sons are called Mike????

how do the bbc find these people?

"are you a waster? an alcoholic? do your children live in squaller while you drink the money meant to feed and clothe them? Have you fathered 10s of children by several different women? In which case the bbc want to hear from you.". I just wonder how people like this come to the attention of the bbc and similar programme makers.

Poor little souls not even having their own names.

I can see your point Mme, I do find this really shocking tbh, I mean I grew up on a rough estate
in cough Middlesbrough but never encountered people like this, although there were the obligatory rough families.

that name thing is bizarre

wasn't the dad on jeremy kyle a few months back or am I thinking of someone else?
