NASHVILLE, Tenn. (NewsChannel 5) - It is one of Metro's most expensive child support cases and the father in question considers himself to be quite the ladies man. "I was young and ambitious and I love women. You can't knock no man for loving women," said Orlando Shaw whose relationships have led to several children. The 33-year-old Shaw admitted to fathering 22 kids by 14 different women. Those mothers -through Child Support Services - took Shaw to court for tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid child support over the years. It is estimated the state pays more than $7,000 each month in assistance to help support all of Shaw's children. "How do we apply our child support guidelines to this many children in this many households," said magistrate Scott Rosenberg. Rosenburg said Shaw would have to take three or four full-time jobs to even come close to paying the child support he owes. Shaw said his prior criminal history makes it hard for him to find a job. Shaw said he's proud of all his children. "I love my kids and I can care less about what anyone thinks about it," said Shaw. He said by having all these children it helps his Shaw family legacy live on. "I'll be sure we'll be here for years and years to come." Shaw will likely go to trial on the child support case. The magistrate could send him to jail, yet again. He's been there several times before. The court has also been working to help Shaw get more involved with his children's lives even if he can't do so financially. Metro handles literally thousands of child support payment cases every year and Shaw's ranks near the top involving the number of children who are receiving little or no support. http://www.newschannel5.com/story/22500729/deadbeat-dad-fathers-22-children-by-14-women What are your thoughts? |
| I never knew what Flavor Flav's real name was... |
| He says he loves his kids. If I were the judge, I'd ask him to state the full name and birthdate of each one. Can't do it? Off to the slammer, where he can't make any more kids to neglect. |

Hard to imagine all these kids growing up to be proud of the Shaw Family Legacy. So far, not very much to be proud of. I think all the mothers should pair up and co-abode.
I wish the judge could order a vasectomy. Until you can support all the children you currently have, you can't get it revered. Even the Duggars don't have that many kids! |
| Well, at least he "can care less" about what others think. Good to know. |
| you can't get blood from a stone. |
| Dumbass women are just as much to blame |
| It is very likely these 22 kids are going to be living off public assistance. It's really such a shame! I have to think that the mothers knew what this man was about before they chose to get pregnant. |
William Drayton only has seven children with three women. Amateur. |
| It takes two to get pregnant. Shame is that society picks up the cost but that is the price of a free society. |

What is wrong with people?
Good thing God gifted all of those children to him; God forbid they had used an unholy condom or learned about reproduction in sinful sex-ed. If they send him back to prison they had better be sure he can't get conjugal visits. |
| Crazy. I hope the kids can break the cycle of poverty and stupidity. |
| I take issue with the premise of the subject line. It seems to suggest he should be apologizing. |
| I was just thinking the same thing as above PP. He shouldnt apologize for anything. He has just as much of a right to have multiple children as anyone else. |
|
I wish it was legally possible to give this man the choice of vasectomy or time in jail if he cannot support his children and the state has to pay the bill.
Want sex? Fine! But pls don't have more children you are not capable of supporting - financially and emotionally. |
