Mom of 14 kids!

I'm sure you all heard about the single mother, no job,  who already had 6 kids and was artificially inseminated with 8 more which are still in the hospital.  She lives with her parents in a 3 bedroom house, keep in mind 3 adults and 6 toddlers, and eight more babies to come home once they are released from the hospital.  The house is in foreclosure, she is on welfare getting food stamps and she got a 6 figure disability settlement for an injury she received when she was working in a mental ward.  Word has it that she gave that money to the doctor for the artificial insemination.

Here is my question:  Was the doctor who artifically insenimated her irresponsible?  Knowing she already had 6 kids, and a single mother with no job on welfare?

Is it right for the CA taxpayers (she lives in CA) to food the hospital bill which already climbed to 1 million dollars or will be there shortly?

Will it be child abuse to have 3 adults and 14 toddlers/babies in a 3 bedroom house?  Her mother already expressed great concern and anxiety on national TV about this situation.  O'Reilly showed a clip from the Oprah show which will air next week showing that the woman's father thinks his daughter is not mentally stable.

She was seen shopping at Nordstroms spending $14.00 on lip gloss.  Not exactly shopping at Walmart.  Normally I would think that is her business where she shops, and yes it is her business but on welfare and foodstamps and dishing out $14.00 for lip gloss??  

How will she feed all these babies together when they are  all crying because they are hungry?  How will she take 14 kids for a walk?  In shifts?  Being on welfare I can't imagine being able to afford a Nanny to take care of 14 toddlers/babies.

Will child services step in and take the kids from her?  After all 14 babies and 3 adults in a three bedroom house is kind of tight space.


Is it fair to criticize her even though she was selfish wanting more kids on top of the 6 she already has with no job, no husband, and on welfare?

Don't misunderstand my post.  Once she was pregnant I am NOT suggesting she should have aborted all these babies, but the artificial insemination should have never taken place knowing she is single with no job, no husband, and on foodstamps and welfare.  I feel sorry for these babies and the woman's parents.  She is happy as hell saying "she wants many kids, that was always her dream".  Boy did that dream come true for her.

What say you?

I believe this mother has some mental issues and I also think that she is very selfish. It makes me furious knowing that she puts her own selfish needs over her own children.

I'm happy that her physician is being investigated and I believe there is a good possibility that he may lose his license to practice.

I totally agree with you and thanks for the info.  Her parents are elderly and I totally understand how her mother feels.  I too have seen her mother being interviewed you could see the anxiety in her face and hear it in her voice.

I looked this doctor up on the CA Medical Board.  He has no disciplinary action against him, his license is current, BUT he had a "name change".  His new name is not listed.

I think this girl is a perfect example of why IVF should have very strict rules and guide lines regulating the amount of possible births at any one given time. There are some countries that will not allow more than 2 - 3. Personally, I think All countries should impliment such a law. Until such a law is in place, the Doctor that preformed this insemination can not be held accountable.

This girl is fully responsible for her actions. She knew what she was doing. She chose the number of babies she would have. She got what she wanted. She planned this.

But what she didn't plan on was the back lash, the outrage people would feel, the death threats towards her.

More than likely she planned on being famous (not infamous). Selling her story to papers and magazines. Being paid to appear on national tv, perhaps she even had dreams of being the next new reality tv star!

Call me a pessimist if you like, but seriously, doesn't that make sense to some of you? It seems some people will do anything these days to make a quick buck and get their 10 minutes of fame and fortune...

On the issue of whether a 3 bedroom home would be grounds for child abuse. Under normal circumstances, I would hardly think so. If the home was in a condition that wasn't habitable by humans then that would be grounds for unfit living conditions but not considered child abuse as such.

Do I think tax payers should fund her living expenses? No!

If she cant afford them on her own merits then she should not have had them. But it's a little late for that, she has had them and if she can't provide for them, care for them as they deserve to be cared for, then the best thing for those childern would perhaps be to be removed and place with parents that would love and care for them as is a childs right.

I was watching an interview with her on tv only yesterday. She said, she didn't care what others thought of her or what they thought about how she raised her children.

The interview then switched to her mother, the mother said " I have grave concerns for all of these children, my daughter goes off for hours on end, leaving me with the children, I'm not coping now, what is it going to be like for me when the other 8 come home and my daughter does her disappearing act? She then went on to say " I am seriously considering moving out"

The interview then went back to the girl, and she was asked, how do you think you will manage on your own? The response, she simply smiled and said, oh it will be fine! She was then asked did she regret having so many children, her reply "No, and I want more kids, I plan on having 25!!!!!

If I had not watched and heard this myself, I would have passed it off as gossip, as there has been so much gossip and inuendo surrounding this whole saga. But there it was, on tv in her own words.

Tomorrow evening, there is a one hour "special" on her with full interviews. I think it will be interesting to see the full interview. I don't believe I misunderstood anything that I saw or it was presented out of context. But out of curiosity, I will watch, perhaps I will have a change of heart on how i feel out this girl, perhaps......
