Octuplet mom fears hospital may not release babies (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090225/ap_en_tv/octuplets_dr_phil - broken link)
What a surprise!!! OCTO mom is in trouble! How can she care for 14 when she cannot even take care of HERSELF! I hope the hospital steps up and doesn't release them!
I feel the same way, as she will not even have a place to live after Thursday. There are reports her parents home is up for foreclosure and will be auctioned off. They owe over 23,000.00.
Btw did you see some porn produce offered her 1 mil to do a porn film, and benefits if she signed on as an "employee". (meaning she would do serval through out the year) gross....
Having been a foster parent who took medically fragile children I had several from the NICU. All parents have pass several skills there as well as be there eveyday. Feeding, medication, CPR, apena equipment. and carseats. They check off if they feel you understand. I didn't hear the story but that is pretty standard for all parents. Now as I said in another post. The hospital has to release these babies to her and to cover them they have to make sure they are not releasing them to unsafe place. They usually call cps themselves if they find out a Mother is unstable and they feel that the child could be in danger. I haven't heard anything that CPS has looked into this case. I really get sick of hearing about this women. If the state doesn't want to step in then all press should go away. Press is what she wants good or bad.
Hopefully. Poor kids. I'd hate to have them taken away from their REAL mother too.
I hope many people/organizations help this family. As long as it isn't cash!
She has been offered 24/7 help from Angels in Waiting.
They are a non-profit organization consisting of RNs & volunteers.
She has denied their help along with some other organizations who have offered FREE services.
All have offered free help with the contingency she gets mental assistance to deal with the very real issues she has.
She makes money off doing tacky shows like Dr. Phil & RadarOnLine.
What she has TURNED DOWN to what she has accepted speaks VOLUMES about this woman.
THe children are suffering & will always suffer as long as this mother & her grandparents do not fix the very true issues they have.
The children were never important in the first place.
She has stated over & over she did it FOR HER and she just said the other day...she may do it again...I feel that statement is a ploy but it's still wrong.
This has never been nor will ever be about children. It is the perfect example of a dysfunctional family who has issues that were ignored/never addressed & a mentally ill daughter.
And, unfortunately.,14 children were brought into the world b/c of it.
121804, I agree 100%. The reason she's turning down the help offered is because she wants it all in CASH. The hospital would be negligent by releasing any of those babies, and the older ones should be taken away as well.

I agree with everything you said except for involving the grandmother. I have watched a couple of interviews with her and she is clearly against the entire situation. I think she would walk away from her daughter in a heart beat but is concerned about the 6 in the home right now. She is clearly in a difficult situation.
I hadn't heard that she turned down Angels group. I heard she had until tomorrow to respond. She doesn't want anyone telling herwhat to do. She clearly has issues with her Mom. Her Dad who was on Oprah yesterday was an interesting man too. He says he has to go back to wherever in a few weeks to work. He had like 8,000 in the bank when he came back and now he says he has 100.00. It is clear that this all is about her not her parents or children her. But news cast and interveiws do nothing until those that can step in and do something. I would not be surprised if that isn't what she wants at this point. She thought she would be like other couples who had muliti births, I don't think she expected people to hate her and not want to help her at all. So if they take her babies or all children then what she acts like a victum. What really would show her is to have all the press walk away and nobody care anymore. I think she will at that point do something to gain attention again. She want to be a celeb and she will take anyway she can get it.

I dunno know. I wanted her to keep the kdis regardless, but after weeks of reading about her instability and the crazy life she lives, I want them taken away. They take animals away from abusive and irresponsible people non?
