Where are the mothers of these babies? Perhaps the dude had to look for money to take care of these babies.

uthink: at least someone is this morning

THREE 1/2 months later and he is now being charged?What in the world?

The one year old can be 23 months or less.

In response to the question "How do you get a 7 month old and a 1 year old?" That's easy-its his brother from a different mother. I guess the dad is more interested in making as many kids as possible instead of taking care of them...
