There are so very many things wrong about this entire situation, from the fact that she has never been self-supporting, through the 'miscarriage' of common sense of the doctor who EVER implanted any of these eggs, to her own, obvious mental problems and total last of maturity,....surely, some way can be utilized to protect and remove these children to a stable situation, while the woman gets evaluated and helped? I cannot bear to think of what the future holds for these poor children, but I do know that there are government protective services that can step in, because they do when it has involved fewer children in bad situations! Why does it seem that the 'powers that be' are reluctant to step in, now, just because of the number of children involved? The authorities should step up and deal with the security and welfare of ALL the children, NOW, before there is a most terrible tragedy, beyond the lack of a stable home and a productive future. You'd have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to realize that these children are going to end up in poverty, deprived and draining the over-loaded social support system. Somebody, please, get this woman some help and get these children into better circumstances, away from her??????!!!!!!

It's a pity that this obviously disturbed woman had one thing in mind for these chilren and it wasn't Love. In her mind these kids were her ticket to notoriety and money, she wants to be in the spotlight and she would do anything to make that happen. I feel sorry for those children, may GOD Bless Them , because their going to need all the help they can get with, I won't give her the dignity of calling her a MOther. It's a sad day in America when people condone this.

The woman is an idiot and should be sterilized.

Is this why she had all 8 babies at once, so she could appear on Dateline, Today Show or other ones. Now she wants to make sure she is still being seen. That is not goood for the children, but no one seems to care.

Someone said that she isn't bothering anyone so what does it matter, and compared her to the Duggers. Well, the Duggers aren't asking taxpayers to pay for their family or their bills. If she has the money, fine, but since I and my fellow working Californians are paying for this, I think I have a right to complain! Especially since teachers are being fired and tremendous cuts in education--so we can pay for her and others like her!!! What ever happened to being responsible for your own actions (or kids)???
