Many readers sent me links to the story about the dude who fathered 30 kids with almost as many different women and pays some of them one dollar in child support. And that guy may be the “father of the year.” But I want to introduce you to the family of the year–or rather familIES of the year: that of Major League Baseball’s Torii Hunter, yet another pro athlete multi-millionaire who couldn’t keep his pants zipped. Yup, I’m spelling his first name right (because his mama couldn’t).
Father of the Year: Baseball Player Torii Hunter Had 4 Kids w/ 4 Chicks & Now His Son is a Rapist
I’ve said many times before what many readers also feel about these multiple babydaddy idiots: their kids will be sucklings on the entitlement system and they will also be criminals, delinquents, drug users, morons who sleep around like there’s no tomorrow, etc. And so it goes with the Torii Hunter “extended” family. Hunter claims to be a devout Christian, which I don’t quite believe since he had three kids out of wedlock with three different other women he never married and seems more concerned with inventing a dumb name for at least one of them (Monshadrik Hunter–the first name sounds like pretend French for “My Booty Call”) than raising his kids to be decent human beings.
This is what happens when kids are fathered outside of marriage and their fathers aren’t really in their lives. I’ve seen it a gazillion times with juvenile criminal defendants I’ve represented (who are ticking time bombs because dad wasn’t there and they had no decent male role model and father figure in their lives). Although I wouldn’t exactly call multi-babydaddy Torii Hunter a role model for anything. And if you have kids with three or more different women (Hunter has four kids with four chicks), it’s a tip-off: you probably suck as a father (yes, even you, Donald Trump–though at least Trump’s kids turned out okay and didn’t become criminals and rapists) and a human being.
Now, one of Hunter’s illegit kids is in trouble for drugging and raping women and sending out videotapes of it. Defense lawyers claim they have a recording of one of the main accusers recanting. But I don’t buy it, and this “family” sounds like pure garbage. Make sure you read the part about this kid’s mom, another real prize.
17-year-old Darius McClinton-Hunter is free on bond after his arrest Monday in connection with the sexual assault of a child. A Texas prosecutor contends a group of boys at Prosper High School invited girls to parties, gave them drugs and had sex, according to The Dallas Morning News. Read the rest of this entry »
