Children

Evelyn Nesbit gave birth to a son, Russell William Thaw on October 25, 1910 in Berlin, Germany. Nesbit always maintained he was Thaw’s biological child, conceived during a conjugal visit to Thaw while he was confined at Matteawan. Thaw, throughout his life denied paternity.

In 1911, Nesbit reconciled with her mother. Her mother took on the role of caregiver for the child while Nesbit sought out opportunities to support herself and her son.

Famous quotes containing the word children:

    “Relying on any one disciplinary approach—time-out, negotiation, tough love, the star system—puts the parenting team at risk. Why? Because children adapt to any method very quickly; today’s effective technique becomes tomorrow’s worn dance.”
    —Ron Taffel (20th century)
