Viral sa TikTok ang rebelasyon ng isang male senior citizen tungkol sa kanyang pamilya.
Makikita sa video ang lalaki na nasa backseat ng kotse, seryoso ang mukha, at malumanay ang boses.
Pagkatapos ay ibinahagi niya ang natuklasan matapos magpa-DNA test kasama ang dalawa niyang anak.
“After 51 years of marriage this judge learns his children are not his!!!” caption sa three-minute video na ipinost sa TikTok ni @kevinwesleygenie o Kevin W'esley, na ayon sa bio niya ay isang content creator at life coach.
Walang binanggit si Kevin tungkol sa sourcing ng video na naka-generate na ng 4.5 million views at 27,000 comments sa loob ng limang araw, simula nang i-post ito noong February 17, 2024.

Panimula ng ama tungkol sa dalawang anak na tinawag niyang tamad, “I have been married for 51 years. Got two sons, 42 and 40, damn deadbeats.
“I’m still supporting the little buggers.”
Dahil daw may kidney problem ang kanyang brother at nangailangan ng kidney donor, kaya sumailalim ang ama at dalawa niyang anak sa DNA test.
Nakakagulat ang resulta.
Sabi ng male senior citizen, “Found out something interesting. They ain’t my kids. They’re somebody else’s."
Ang tanging konsolasyon daw niya sa natuklasan ay ang thought na wala siyang kinalaman sa pagluwal sa dalawang “idiots.”
Sarkastiko pa niyang hirit, “Hell, I thought they took after their mother. Instead, they took after the plumber or postman, milkman. There were milkmen back when they came around. God only knows.”

Sana raw ay alam niya kung sino ang tunay na ama ng mga ito.
“But If I could figure out who they were, I’ve been practicing long, long, long enough that I pretty well figured out…
“I could see their asses and get all my money back that I sunk into those two dead beats.”
Sa kanyang misis, heto ang sinabi niya: “If she could tell me, I’d probably forgive her. Maybe not...”
Walang sinabi ang male senior citizen na isa siyang hukom, pero ito ang nasa title ng video at ang hinuha rin ng mga TikTok users dahil sa sumunod niyang pahayag.
Payo niya sa lahat ng mga ama: mag-paternity test sa kanilang mga anak.
“You can’t tell by looking who’s the daddy.
“I’ve been in court thousands of times in paternity suits, and four out of five times, guy says he ain’t the daddy. He’s right in the genetic test, which is the only test to prove it for sure.”
Malaman ang kanyang parting shot.
“Well, I guess that pretty well completes that story.
"I’ll go home, start drafting some divorce papers. See if I can get free of that crazy b*tch.
"I mean I stayed with it for the sake of the jewelry, and for the grandchildren, now great-grandchildren, but they ain’t no kid of mine.”
Maraming netizens ang invested sa kuwento ng male senior citizen na walang pagkakakilanlan.
Libu-libo ang naging komento. Marami ang naglabas ng kanilang opinyon tungkol sa sensitibong paksa.
May mga nagbahagi rin ng kanilang parehong karanasan.
May mga nakisimpatya at inudyukan siyang baguhin ang kanyang will.
May mga sumang-ayon sa sinabi niyang kailangan ang paternity test para sa peace of mind ng parents. Isang netizen ang nagkomento na "standard protocol at all births" daw dapat ito.
May TikTok user naman na nag-point out na ang potential kidney donors ay hindi kailangang sumailalim sa DNA test.
Pero ayon sa article na lumabas sa Wall Street Journal noong April 16, 2021, mas lumalaki ang tsansang makahanap ng donors kapag nai-establish agad ang blood relations ng recipient.
"More than 7,000 living donors give a kidney or part of a liver each year to a blood relative in the U.S., according to the United Network for Organ Sharing. In the era of DNA testing, as families’ circles widen to discover new blood relations, the potential for donor matches will increase."
