What a man!

Gary Staton of Omaha, Nebraska, abandoned nine of his ten children at Creighton University Medical Center last Wednesday. The tenth child is a legal adult. The abandoned children range in age from one to 17.

Mrs. Staton died last year shortly after giving birth to the youngest child. Staton quit his job because of "family responsibilities," then complained because he couldn't pay his rent or utilities or take care of the kids. He says without his wife, he was overwhelmed and "fell apart." "I was with her for 17 years, and then she was gone. What was I going to do?" Ya think! Why does he think his wife is dead???

This selfish (I don't use the kind of words I want to call him) kills his wife by wantonly impregnating her at least ten times. Then he quits his job. Then he wants people to feel sorry for him when he becomes completely derelict in his duty by anonymously leaving his kids at a hospital. What kind of scars do you think those kids will carry for the rest of their lives?

There are relatives willing to take the kids -- don't you think it would have been less traumatic for them if he had said, "I want you to go live with Aunt Betsy for awhile until Daddy finds a job and we can get back on our feet"?

The first thing they need to do with this bum is perform a vasectomy, because I guarantee you, unless they do, he will father more children that he will foist off either on the relatives or the taxpayers.
