Nebraska man who abandoned his 9 kids under "safe haven law" is expecting twins

<p>"The Nebraska man who abandoned his nine children under the state’s Safe Haven law last year is expecting to become the father of twins, FOXNews.com has learned.</p>

<p>Gary Staton, 37, became a single father in February 2007 when his wife, RebelJane, died of a cerebral aneurysm shortly after giving birth to the couple’s ninth child. Unable to handle the burden alone, Staton made national news more than a year later on Sept. 24 when he dropped off his children — ages 1 to 17 — at a hospital in Omaha. According to the law at the time, parents could hand children up to age 18 over to state custody without prosecution. Legislators would later amend the law to limit its reach to infants up to 30 days old.</p>

<p>Joanne Manzer — the wife of RebelJane’s father, Jack Manzer — told FOXNews.com that Staton informed his children last week that he’s expecting to become a father again with his new girlfriend, a woman named Gail.</p>

<p>“I was told she’s pregnant with twins,” Manzer told FOXNews.com. “[Staton] told them the last time he visited them in Lincoln, that his girlfriend Gail was pregnant. He even showed them the ultrasound picture.”

<p>I heard about this this morning. It makes my blood boil.</p>

<p>Oh no! A male version of octomom! I wonder how soon til he gets his reality show up and running.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>whoops! OK, we plugged that “loophole” Now he will only have 30 days to dump the twins.</p>

<p>Quoting D: That would suck.</p>

<p>RebelJane? Dad showing the ultrasound pictures? Come on, it’s a bad novel.</p>

<p>And people are worried about gays raising kids? Lordy.</p>

<p>He just doesn’t want to raise kids “alone.” With a new girlfriend, well, that’s different. </p>

<p>Kids don’t seem to upset at their dad. Sounds like he wasn’t the glue holding that family together…</p>

<p>Oh brother.</p>

<p>Forced sterilization.</p>

<p>Just cut it ALL off. No snip snip for him.</p>

<p>Where is Lorena Bobbitt when we need her?</p>

<p>^^^LOL!!! OMG! too funny!</p>

<p>You have got to be kidding. </p>

<p>What an idiot.</p>

<p>Wait, RebelJane… really?</p>

<p>All joking aside, in the report I heard, he said he never got “snipped” because he couldn’t afford $1,000 for the procedure. If he really was open to birth control, I refuse to accept cost as this couple’s barrier. Pills are free. </p>

<p>Instead, it will now cost the taxpayers of Nebraska over $1M to raise these kids. And that’s just the cost in dollars. I shudder think of the psychological toll.</p>

<p>I suspect not having a vas due to cost is an excuse. State funds are available for vasectomies in most states, and my guess is that he qualified. Clearly he doesn’t believe in condoms. Ever.</p>

<p>Condoms are also pretty reasonable.</p>

<p>There should be a law against this.</p>

<p>oh jeebus. o_O
what is wrong with this person??</p>

<p>OK, Nebraska’s Medicaid program covers vasectomies. A simple web search located multiple physicians in Nebraska, including family physicians, who do the procedure in the office. Many Planned Parenthood locations nationwide have local urologists who perform vasectomies for them once a month for $350-500. He is not just poor, he is stupid and lazy.</p>

<p>Just for the record - I am making a broad assumption here. Please don’t hate me, if you are one of the exceptions:</p>

<p>If he is like many men, they would rather have their teeth pulled out with rusty pliers than operate on the family jewels. ;)</p>
