Family of the Year: Baseball’s Torii Hunter & One of His BabyMamas’ Rapist Sons
Many readers sent me links to the story about the dude who fathered 30 kids with almost as many different women and pays some of them one dollar in child support. And that guy may be the “father of the year.” But I want to introduce you to the family of the year–or rather familIES of the year: that of Major League Baseball’s Torii Hunter, yet another pro athlete multi-millionaire who couldn’t keep his pants zipped. Yup, I’m spelling his first name right (because his mama couldn’t).
Father of the Year: Baseball Player Torii Hunter Had 4 Kids w/ 4 Chicks & Now His Son is a Rapist
I’ve said many times before what many readers also feel about these multiple babydaddy idiots: their kids will be sucklings on the entitlement system and they will also be criminals, delinquents, drug users, morons who sleep around like there’s no tomorrow, etc. And so it goes with the Torii Hunter “extended” family. Hunter claims to be a devout Christian, which I don’t quite believe since he had three kids out of wedlock with three different other women he never married and seems more concerned with inventing a dumb name for at least one of them (Monshadrik Hunter–the first name sounds like pretend French for “My Booty Call”) than raising his kids to be decent human beings.
This is what happens when kids are fathered outside of marriage and their fathers aren’t really in their lives. I’ve seen it a gazillion times with juvenile criminal defendants I’ve represented (who are ticking time bombs because dad wasn’t there and they had no decent male role model and father figure in their lives). Although I wouldn’t exactly call multi-babydaddy Torii Hunter a role model for anything. And if you have kids with three or more different women (Hunter has four kids with four chicks), it’s a tip-off: you probably suck as a father (yes, even you, Donald Trump–though at least Trump’s kids turned out okay and didn’t become criminals and rapists) and a human being.
Now, one of Hunter’s illegit kids is in trouble for drugging and raping women and sending out videotapes of it. Defense lawyers claim they have a recording of one of the main accusers recanting. But I don’t buy it, and this “family” sounds like pure garbage. Make sure you read the part about this kid’s mom, another real prize.
17-year-old Darius McClinton-Hunter is free on bond after his arrest Monday in connection with the sexual assault of a child. A Texas prosecutor contends a group of boys at Prosper High School invited girls to parties, gave them drugs and had sex, according to The Dallas Morning News.
Five Prosper students, including McClinton-Hunter, were arrested Monday after a month-long investigation into an alleged sexual assault. . . . One of the juveniles is accused of helping to drag a girl into a closet, where prosecutors say McClinton-Hunter forced her to have oral sex, according to The Morning News. . . .
Torii Hunter was placed on the Angels’ restricted list Monday. It’s not clear when he will return to the team. . . . He tweeted Monday night, “This is very tough for a father. Thanks for ur prayers and support. Be Blessed everyone!”
McClinton-Hunter’s mother, Lanika McClinton, was arrested Monday morning while taking her son to school and charged with driving without a valid license, according to The Morning News.
No you di’in’t!
Like I said, this is the family of the year. Daddy has millions of dollars and sonny boy–who has no father in his life until now–is a rapist.
As “families” like this become the norm in America, doesn’t our future look terrific?

Deb, like you I defended numerous juvenile defendants. Not once, not a single time, did I ever see a father at trial. Not a single one of these defendants had a mother who was MARRIED to the father. Not once was the father LIVING with the mother.
In the case of the adult perps, virtually all had children out of wedlock. A few of their kids had already died due to lead or steal poisoning while involved in the drug trade (shot or stabbed to death).
Where did I practice criminal law? In Washington, DC (the DC stands for District of Crime).
So, while I was defending these people, (and this was during the height of the drug wars in DC), I go to synagogue, where the speaker was a Washington Post reporter who had the tenacity to state that the drug dealers were the best and the brightest black children!!!! Having known the best and the brightest, whose parents were married and professionals, and who went to Ivy League schools, I found this nonsense objectionable. Most were so dumb, they could not count, which led to shortages when they paid their drug lords, hence the high rate of death. This was the end result of one parent unwed homes.
