I'd bet money more than a few of these 16 will wind up somehow fucked in the head.
Yes, and my father's family was Catholic.

My Aunt Rose had 10 kids
My Aunt Mary had 12 kids
My Uncle Eddie had 9 kids
My Aunt Helen had 11 kids
My father had 9 kids (two from his 1st marriage, 5 with my mom, two after)

Not a one of my cousins is in prison.

I've seen children of families of only 1 or 2 that were seriously fucked up. What does that prove? Jeffery Dahmer was one of 2, John Wayne Gacy was one of 3 and Ted Bundy was an only child. Charles Whitman was one of 2.
Ted Kaczinski was one of 2. Need I go on?
