(Sorry, I didn't catch the long link before I copypasta'd. Link's down bottom.)
Could someone tell me why sterilisation isn't an option for these people? It's not like it's a mystery what causes kids, y'know...
He was trying to get a break on the 21 he already had and ended up with nine more while the court was deciding?!?!?
Seriously, what's wrong with these people?
As a judge, I'd be inclined to say the following:
"Ladies, your children will be removed from you and placed into foster care. You are all remanded into temporary custody, long enough to have a laparoscopic tubal ligation performed and to allow you to recover. All of you should be free to resume your lives within a month. The tubal ligation operations and maintenance of your bills will end up being far less expensive to us in the long run.
"Sir, I don't know what's going on in your head, and I honestly don't care. You are also remanded into temporary custody, pending castration. Vasectomies, as you may be aware, have been known to spontaneously reverse themselves. I expect that you should be free to resume your life within two weeks, once it is confirmed that you are fully sterile.
"Under State law, I cannot order you to stop having children. However, I can order you to be prevented from having children, and you obviously don't have the brains required to put a condom to use.
"I had considered total emasculation or possibly full gender nullification, sir, in your case. However, I expect that you should recover much more quickly from castration, and this reduces the costs to the State.
"I don't know what's wrong with you people, and I don't care. You continue to make mistakes, then expect us to pay for it and to save you from the consequences of your actions or inactions. By taking these actions, I am effectively preventing you from having negative consequences, but I am also preventing future expense and complication.
"Considering that you're not bothering to keep track of your children, I expect that nearly any home that these children may be placed into by the foster care system will be more attentive and loving than you are. It is my hope that most - if not all - of these children should actually be adopted, instead of merely fostered.
"It is important for you people to realise that you are not being placed under arrest - my order will reflect that you are in custody for your protection. Therefore, no criminal record should ensue - yet.
"However, I will also be dropping any public benefits you may be currently receiving to reflect the fact that you have only yourselves to support, and you will have six months to secure gainful employment. If you should require jobs training, this will be arranged for you.
"You have obviously misunderstood the purpose of social welfare - it's not to support people using unearned income for their entire lives, but to provide short-term assistance for people when they're down on their luck - if they haven't been able to plan ahead. I somehow would not be surprised to find out you people were not the first generation of your families to be supported by the public.
"Bailiffs, please remove these people and place them in custody. Inform the sheriff that my written order will follow within 48 hours, and I expect a plan for how it is to be implemented with 48 hours after that - I'd like these people to bet able to get on with their lives within thirty days.

(Alternatively - BAN HAMMER!)
sorry - reading stuff like this makes me cranky. I just wish I was in a position to actually do something about it - but people like me don't get elected to positions where that's possible.
EDIT - OK, the system shortened the link. In the window, it took up five lines...
