Some folks just shouldn’t have children

No doubt we’re paying for her rent, food and everything else.


Wakiha Fayne is a perfect example of someone who shouldn’t have kids.

The unemployed, 22-year-old, unmarried Cleveland woman is charged with five counts of child endangering and is being held in city jail.

There is no better place for her.

Fayne, the mother of five, count ‘em, five children, left these children alone last week in a filthy house with no working refrigerator.

According to a Cleveland police report, the home was bug infested, had feces smeared in the bathroom and food and debris scattered on the floor.  The children also had bed bug bites.

Let’s do the math.

Fayne had her first child at 16 years old.  She then went on to produce four more, including a set of 14-month old twins.

Unless there is some Divine intervention, Fayne’s children don’t have a snowballs chance in Hell of going on to become productive citizens.

Barring some miracle, they will just repeat the cycle of teen pregnancy, multiple babies without benefit of marriage and high school dropouts.

Meanwhile, society must bear the brunt of Fayne’s irresponsible actions.

No doubt we’re paying for her rent, food and everything else.

It’s a vicious cycle that needs to stop.

There is no excuse for reproducing children that you know that you can’t afford or take care of.

Unfortunately, we live an entitlement state. Wakiha Fayne knows that first hand.
