Should Octomom's Kids Be Taken Away?

When Nadya Suleman, a.k.a. "Octomom," said she had posed nude for Closer magazine because she needed the money, no one knew exactly how badly she needed it. But TMZ recently acquired a collection of photographs apparently depicting Suleman's living conditions, and it's not pretty. The walls are covered with graffiti clearly drawn by children, sparse furniture, dirty faces, kids using portable plastic potties in the backyard, and a door wedged shut by a chair with the words "do not enter" painted on it.



The photographs make for a disturbing scene, and prompted the Orange County Department of Children and Family Services to investigate Tuesday night. According to TMZ, Suleman's hairstylist went to the police and presumably took the aforementioned pictures as evidence. The hairstylist also told police some of the kids have to sleep on the floor. There's no word on what CFS decided, but does it sound like Suleman's kids should be taken away?

    Do you use a chair to lock him in the room and then spend $500 on a haircut?

    Does your house have working plumbing, her's is broken, but her haircuts are a bigger priority, than paying a plumber.

    First it was over 500 and now it is 500. Make up your mind. I live in an apt. Sounds to me she owens her house. That right there is costly. Plumbing not working so what I use to have an out house in the yard I grew up in. Oldern days didn't have plumbing. Yes she needs to rethink how she spends money but don't we all. As for the chair no because he can't open doors yet. Will I? Pry not unless I'm at a breaking point. In a way the closed door is the same as a child gate.

    So I'm reading an article. " They received reports that the house only had one functioning toilet" so one toilet woohoo lots of people have one toilet. "Fortunately for Octomom, social workers and police determined her children weren't endangered following a half-hour investigation of her home." Okay so everything has been done that's needed and they find it suitiable for the kids to stay so why the argument. O as for the money of haircuts "Octomom currently gets $2,000 in monthly food stamps. To be fair, some of that $520 was owed for a previous haircut, as well as $80 worth of hair products." When does food stamps pay for haircuts? They don't! Besides that she wanted to pay debt that she had plus no one says the hair product isn't for the kids.

    Bad taste, as in letting the kids write/paint on the walls does not mean dirty. Laundry on the floor (which would be a lot with 14 kids) does not mean filth. Two potties outside were probably there for when the training kids need to go and they are outside playing, this does not mean that they don't have potties in the house as well. Tacky house, yes, filth and deplorable conditions - no.

    Friends of the family say the plumbing is broken. She claims she doesn't have money to fix it.

    However the person that took the pictures is the hairstylist she paid over $500 to do her hair. While locking the kids in a room to keep them out of the way.

    No her children should not be taken away, many children are taken from their parents and suffer a worse fate in foster homes. send some one in to help her with the children, and leave them at home...why are they hounding her TMZ has nothing better to report, today in the Media I do not believe half of the things reported...

    That video clip is a nasty piece of gossip and innuendo. The media swoops in on a person's privte life and then talks about them like they are the perfect experts and have all the facts. IN reality media reports half truths, lies and puts it all on a slant that suits them.

    If the accusations are true absolutely yes! Someone already on food stamps and ssi with 6 kids had no business using her kids ssi to get implanted. Now she's neglecting them? Disgusting. I'm all for reproductive freedom and having lots of kids or not and by what way is right for your family BUT once those kids are here take care of them or give them to someone who can.

  • Corrie Ken Ben... 2012/05/07 14:41:37
    Corrie
    I certainly did read the article. I'm not exactly sure what I am jumping to conclusions about. Her hairstylist took pictures of her house. From the look of the pictures it looks quite clear that she was 1st taking pictures of her hair, presumably after styling, and then went on to take more after seeing how bad the house was and how unkept the children were. So hairstyists should be above basic needs for your children? Really? Believe me I am nothing close to a "clucking hen" nor am I an idiot!

    maybe it was a bad day... maybe the she is one of those weird broads that has to do her hair before she cleans the house. I mean you are all pretty strange depending on the time of day... You don't know the situation but still judge. I don't like the woman at all... Why the hell was she taking fertility drugs to begin with? I can't say cause I don't know all the info... so I won't jump to any conclusions... but... if she had a photo shoot for some porn or something she might need a hair person before... again I don't care enough to dig in so I am not jumping to conclusions ... Like some people. lol

    She obviously can't raise eight kids. That being said, I'm not sure I really think they should be taken away. The foster system is as bad or worse than this woman and finding parents willing to adopt can be hard. This woman definately needs to learn a lesson in priorities, though.
  • prosper... Jacksane 2012/04/26 14:33:30

    Thing is, she's got 14. She had 6 before she had the octs. I don't see how anyone can possibly manage that many young kids on her own.
  • Jacksane prosper... 2012/04/26 14:34:51
    Jacksane
    I agree. I consider any number of kids greater than six (with two parents) to be excessive. I'm simply saying it won't be easy to find alternate homes for that many kids.

    Ohhh thats ok.... We can start locking them up in various prisons soon with all the other right to life kids that we will have soon.. Need to keep our big business ventures running smoothly. Sure republicans will cry ohhh don't abort that baby but will they care for it and give it an education that it can use to be a productive citizen??? Ohhh hell no... We will let them languish in the ghetto's and alleyways with crap schools and garbage teachers. Then we will lock them up so our state govs can draw federal funding from their incarceration. Its a fine country that treats its people this way. America is a great place to live if you are rich... The rest of us can die they do not care.

    But for more reasons than listed. I've slept on floors and such but not while my mom and dad had privileges I didn't. We sometimes slurged on family events but it was as a family and not a hey look at me thing.

    Maybe have her tend to her children in a foster situation. Someone else homes the children but octo becomes something of a maid for then and they teach her how to raise kids.... And while this is going on pull her goverment checks.

    Raising a village of children takes lots of money and lots of help.

    Yes, she is pathetic and stupid, but the kids are the ones suffering. It's probably cheaper (and better for the kids) for the state to intervene financially and pay for housing/mentoring/physical assistance etc. than to pay for foster care for each of the kids separately.
  • Ken Ben... Mtnsmith 2012/05/07 20:43:18

    Well she didn't abort any of them heaven forbid!! so if they die from neglect and or abuse... thats ok in this country... Long as they don't have any abortions. and as long as republicans don't have to pay a red cent hey its all good right?

    No republicans aren't monsters. They are scared old people and rich people that have a vested interest in corporate vested interest. Dems are too to a large extent but I am not talking about them. they aren't blocking abortion clinics when some woman is doing what has to be the hardest thing she has ever done.. A woman that was someones child TOO! Republicans love to cry about welfare and the waste of tax money. As they secretly waste it on tax breaks and backroom deals to other countries. So some corporation can make themselves some more money. You people are backing a known sellout. Mitt Romney? REally???

    so that few dollars the president invested in them republicans at solyndra, that makes up for the billions and billions wasted on two useless and un needed wars.??? Really? REALLY??? Solyndra.... At least the man was trying to do something positive for the country. Unlike The last President... That gave us war and the needless death of a few thousand american service men. American Kids dying for nothing. Their courage and service wasted on a war that did nothing more than allow Little george to play Supreme commander like his daddy. What have we gained? not a safer world. not a new collection of heroes. What have we gained? besides billions of dollars bilked from american tax coffers into corporate bank accounts. silly... you are.

    Mtnsmith
    You're lucky that $500 million is 'a few dollars' in your world; in mine, it's a heck of a lot. And no, he was not trying to do something positive for the country, he was paying back big political donors with OUR money. His own economic advisors told him the Solyndra business model would fail, and not to invest (same conclusion the Bush administration came to, which is why they turned the application down.) When it became obvious the company was headed toward bankrupty, the loan terms were changed to put the government in second position, meaning the wealthy dem investors got paid back out of what was left, and the taxpayers got nothing.

    Silly is getting into a pissing contest when you're fresh out of piss. Rather than call names and spout other's opinions, why don't you take some time and do some research into the issues? You might just be amazed that there's a big 'ol world out there that the Kool-Aid sellers don't want you to know about.

And I will bet you there was at least one republican in there that said voted yes. The president can't make a personal loan so it had to go thru committee. But whatever doesn't change a damned thing I said. This president has spent his whole term doing damage control for the last administration and you all bitch how its all his fault. Makes you freaking crazy that it really isn't huh? 500 mill is nothing compared to the rape of the american tax coffers by you republicans and all you can cry about is that 500 million....

    I am truly sorry that you are so full of rage and spite toward whatever is bothering you. It must be pretty bad for you to go off on an unpleasant, snarling tangent like you are doing now.

    You are assuming I am Republican because I am not a lock-step Kool-Aid drinker like you are. Refer to an earlier post, in which I noted that both parties have a lot to answer for. Bush made lots and lots of expensive, irresponsible mistakes, and did/does the present administration. If you can only see one side of the coin, you really are not seeing the whole picture, are you?

    Try some anger management classes, then Poli Sci 101 at the local community college. Again, I will reiterate that there is a big world out there, and you're missing the forest for trying to chop down the trees.

I would trust him to watch my back before I ever would Romney. And isn't that whats important? Who do you want in the trench with you if it all kicks off??? ohhh that's right... you aren't a republican today so you aren't responsible either.... What am I missing?

    What you are refusing to see is that politics is not black and white, but lots of shades of gray.

    There is no 'good guy democrat' and 'bad guy republican' or vice-versa. It is just not that simple, although it would certainly be easier if we could tell who to believe by the letter after their name.

    There are always two sides to every story, and rarely is there a complete villain and a complete hero (makes police work difficult, I'm told.)

    I don't identify with either party, but with common sense solutions to the country's problems; unfortunately, neither the last administration nor this one seems to be at all interested in common sense.

    It's irresponsible and totally disgusting to assert that someone's kids can be stolen from them by armed goons because you don't like the person's housekeeping or parenting style. Shame on SodaHead for posing the question like that, rather than simply asking, "What do you think of Octomom's approach to xxx?"

    Not that even that is really anyone else's business, except so far as Mom herself chooses to make it so.
