I don't understand how any parent could raise a child for as long as he did with most of them. To have fathered them with someone he claimed to have loved so much and then just drop them off and never look back. From what I understood from the article he didn't apply for any assistance or ask family members for help after his wife died just said I can't handle this and dumped off his kids.

Staton became the single father of 10 kids - ages 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 9, 8, 5, 4 and 1 month - in February 2007 when his wife, RebelJane, died after suffering a cerebral aneurysm.

With the exception of the youngest of course most of those kids could have stepped up and helped their father with their family if given the chance instead of shuffled off to foster homes.
Its just disgusting that the man had resources available to him and he just blew off his family.
