The Man With 1000 Kids: The true story of Jonathan Meijer? - Mamamia

Some of the affected mothers, like Laura and Kate, hope to bring about change.

"We want to make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else," Laura says. "There need to be better laws and regulations in place to protect families and donor-conceived children."

Despite this small victory, there remain serious concerns that Jonathan is still donating sperm through other avenues overseas. On his YouTube channel, he's still posting videos from all over the world. 

"He ain't gonna stop... It’s an obsession," one of the Netflix documentary subjects Vanessa told The Guardian.

"I wanted to participate in this documentary to make women aware… and I really, really want him to stop."

In court, he claims to have "nearly 600" children, but the Netflix series estimates as many as 3,000 children could have been born from his private and sperm bank donations

For Laura and Kate, they hope that by sharing their stories, he can be stopped. "We hope that by speaking out, we can help prevent something like this from happening again," Kate said. 

"No one should have to go through what we've been through."

You can stream The Man With 1000 Kids on Netflix.
