more on OctoMom

I read Octo's story in People magazine. This woman tried to get pregnant as far back as high school...she had three miscarriages. Did you know all of the 8's middle names is "Angel"?
She gets $30 in food stamps, two of the older kids go to a private Christian school and three of the first six have soome sort of disabilities.

She had some psycho experiences after her first child was born--she had a weird fear that he'd be kidnapped and that his life was in danger.

She says she's going back to college this fall to get her master's. WTF is she kidding? Time for classes with 14 children? Oy.

someone seriously needs to check on the welfare of these children. there is no way in hell she is going to be able to properly take care of all those kids.

Emma, my friend forced me to watch octomom's dateline (i think) interview. The octomom admitted on national TV that she is using student loan money to live off of, which is against the law and if sallie mae finds out, they can demand all of the money back instantly or send her to prison.

Now, many people take more sudent loan money than they need and buy other things with it, but you're not supposed to do that, and if asked on national TV, you should lie. She said she uses student loan money instead of being on welfare but then the woman interviewing her asked her about the food stamps and she said it doesn't count. welfare is welfare, own up to it and stop lying for pete's sake.

CA might pay for the schooling for the kids with disabilities if the school has a special program that the public school doesn't have, but I doubt a private religious school has better programs than the public schools. Religious schools are famous for offering no help to kids with disabilities.

Moreover, they showed her pictures from a few years back, she looked pretty and normal. She is really a freak now and looks like she had too much work done. What really got me is that she said she saved $10,000 for each IVF treatment and paid cash for it all but for a lot of that time, she didn't have a job.

A Beverly Hills female psychiatrist filed out the form she's supposed to use when she sees child abuse, and forwarded it to CPS, as the law calls for her to do. She said on the news that while she's never met the mom or any of the kids, she knows child abuse when she sees it. She expects CPS to now do what the law says they're supposed to do.

The website where you could comment or send in a donation to the Nadya Suleman family is no longer in existence.

"She said on the news that while she's never met the mom or any of the kids, she knows child abuse when she sees it."

Now come off it, Bert. This is the very thing you chide in others. You've found some tidbit of patently absurd information and are using it to substantiate your pre-existing opinion. Screwey as the mother is, and long suffering as her kids might be, the unprofessional speculation of a psychiatrist, from Beverly Hills or anywhere else, doesn't help or add anything to the debate. Take that!

vq said...

Heh heh, Spidey. That one was obviously meant for Bert.

Bert Bananas said...

Ded, if I have to take that, I'd like that in an extra large.

And I only chide people when I'm out of anchovies...

Now circling the rumor track is the tidbit that their house is in foreclosure. Which in this day and age doesn't mean all that much.
