Shes nuts. From what I was watching on Dateline she says she can give the children love, care, support, etc. thats all fine and what not but what about the essentials? clothes, food, shelter.

Like I said shes not all upstairs.

The Beatles sang that "All you need is love" so I guess she is taking it literally.
I guess all we can do is pray that those innocent children get a fair chance at life.

Could not have stated this with any greater degree of clarity. I won’t even bother. It’s ludicrous. I hope some heads roll.

LA police to investigate threats to octuplet mom

LOS ANGELES – Police said Thursday they will investigate death threats against octuplet mom Nadya Suleman and advise her publicist on how to handle a torrent of other nasty messages that have flooded his office.

Word that the 33-year-old single, unemployed mother is receiving public assistance to care for the 14 children she conceived through in vitro fertilization has stoked furor among many people.

Police Lt. John Romero said officers were meeting with Suleman's publicist Mike Furtney about the flood of angry phone calls and e-mail messages against Suleman, her children and Furtney.

"We are aware of the media accounts of the threats, and that they are being sent to the West Los Angeles detectives for appropriate action," Romero said.

Furtney said 500 new e-mails were received early Thursday.

"We're talking to the Los Angeles Police Department to get their best advice as to how to regard these messages," Furtney said as the phone in his office rang constantly.

He is also consulting with a security professional to get advice on any precautions that might need to be taken.

Suleman is living in an undisclosed location and spends time with all her kids every day, Furtney said. The octuplets are expected to remain in the hospital for several more weeks.

Not all the calls have been angry. One family from the Midwest has invited Suleman and her brood to live on their farm, Furtney said.

"One thing that keeps me from jumping out the window is that we've heard from many people offering some kind of support: clothing, food, financial or other help," Furtney said.

Suleman has been supporting her six other children with $490 a month in food stamps and receives Social Security disability payments for three of the youngsters that could total $2,379 a month.

She has estimated her in vitro fertilization procedures have cost $100,000.

Suleman has said she saved for the treatments by working double shifts and also used money from a disability award exceeding $165,000 that she received after an on-the-job back injury.

The benefits were discontinued last year.

The Suleman octuplets' medical costs have not been disclosed, but in 2006, the average cost for a premature baby's hospital stay in California was $164,273, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Eight times that equals $1.3 million.

For a single mother, the cost of raising 14 children through age 17 ranges from $1.3 million to $2.7 million, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

I just think it is none of my business, how many kids she has.

ok honestly i have to say something you guys are sitting here all in this ladys life when there is more important things going on in this world than another lady using the goverment to live that is a everyday thing ok admit she rather pop out kids than work but what about our states and how bad they are going to hell and he going to rebuild africa when the us needs rebuilding it self or how about the vets that fought for our freedom and is living on the streets while a lady lost a leg flyin and works for white house i mean there is alot more to talk about than some lady poppin kids out aint no diff than people claiming neighbor hood kids to cheat the gov. the us has alot of work to be done days has changed alot what happent to freedom of speech what happen to if you dont believe in things you have the right to say so ..im just saying is that really all to talk about

We talk about all kinds of topics on here. You would be surprised at the variety.

The doctor should be sued?

WTH? had he refused to treat her he likely would have been sued by her!

Like I said in another thread...it's a vagina not a clown car.


This woman is getting just what she wants...attention and financial gain. It's disgusting...

Now...I hope some right to lifer's will step up and defend procreating like a rabbit!

If you care about the life of your unborn child do you subject the child...or the litter of them...to crowded conditions like that? Seems so far that the poor little mites are all relatively healthy from news reports but with each additional embryo their odds go down. Is that love?

So now some ignorant cow has popped out eight in one shot and is getting way more than fifteen minutes of fame. I can't wait....you know some other brood mare is watching and trying to figure out how to top the feat.

Do I sound rude, crude and judgmental? Damned right I am and I won't apologize...her actions are selfish, irresponsible in the extreme and frankly obscene. Should we make laws against it? Nope...not all wrong doings are crimes but we damned sure shouldn't be rewarding her actions with financial gain either.

I just heard today that Child Protective Services are trying to take the children away. And I think they should!

if she were able to feed them all without my money I wouldn't care either

hello and welcome

no this is not all there is to talk about, join the forums, lots of topics full of threads from jokes to politics, thanks for sharing your view on this one

another woman pregnant by same doctor with quadruplets.

I double that.

Yeah she cant feed the ones she had prior from what I hear. That is part of the controversy. I personally feel like people should stop having one child, let alone this lunacy. I guess Im an extremist in the other direction.

You an extremist, never

I personally don't care so long as that person can take care of their own. Meaning, guidance, nourishment, shelter, love, and the financial obligationm etc., all those good things, if you can provide and all that, have a million kids.

But if you continue to have kids on my dime, that annoys the hell outta me.

Drama queen

Ok like you said "freedom of speech" thats why we can talk about it! And believe me these threads cover ALOT of topics!
I agree with so many of you. I make too much money according to the gov. to qualify for assist. on heating and electric and food. But I can't afford it! I work my 40+ work week and contribute to my community but nope they can't help me!! Its all a load of crap and when I heard this baby factories story I wanted to scream!! Dang I wish I had the money to get pregnant again...I would love it! I can't have anymore. My daughter is my gift from God and when she was born the doctor told me enjoy her all you can because you will not be able to have anymore! And this "lady" gets to have 14 at our expense! GRRRRRRRR

Her 10 seconds of fame .. sad

Well yes I speaking from the standpoint of it becoming an increasingly disastrous situation as it relates directly to the drain on natural resources. The world population is nearing 7 billion.
