Octomom is a disgrace

The more I see this pig on TV the more disgusted I get! At first, the story of the 8 babies was a "feel-good" story on the news and all the Dr.s were shown with huge smiles, & then the truth began to come out. She was unwed, on welfare & disability, already had 6 other kids and she lives in a 3 room apartment and her mother cares for the kids. The doctors obviously had no thoughts for their Hippocratic oaths. All they could see were $$ signs. They had no concern for the quality of life that these children would have in the future. And now, the state of CA (already in the hole for what? 46 billion) has to pay MORE money to this selfish, self serving piece of crap? I'm sorry, but animals have litters of 8, not humans. Isn't this almost like "hoarding" animals? Doesn't the ASPCA usually come and take the animals and put them up for adoption? Wheres the army to come and take some of these kids so that they can be put up for adoption and maybe have a REAL home with 2 parents who LOVE them for themselves and not for how many welfare checks they mean? She's a disgusting pig and someone needs to shoot the b@*&% and put us all out of our misery.

Actually, it's not illegal to be mentally ill. Unless she is found to be dangerously, criminally insane and her kids are in iminent danger it's doubtful a judge will do anything.

No it's not a crime to be mentally ill. Allowing someone who can't be a mom to have custody of children is a crime in my opinion. Octomom doesn't seem to be much of a mom.

She should be taking care of her kids, they need parenting.

**She should be taking care of her kids, they need parenting.**


See, that is an opinion. "Parenting" is a buzzword. There are plenty of working parents out there that spend maybe 4 hours a day with their kids. That is what bothers people. She isn't doing things the way people think she should be doing it. But if her kids are being cared for it doesen't matter if we don't like the way SHE is doing it. So if instead she were being "good" and doing the "right" thing-working two jobs, scrubbing toilets or something we'd have a lot more respect for her. She's just not being humble enough to like. I understand why people don't like her. She isn't ASHAMED of herself. She isn't groveling and shopping in thrift stores like she SHOULD be, in peoples opinions.


When I became my nephews foster parent it only happened because he was old enough to ask the courts himself. It didn't matter that when CPS came to his house that his dad was so wasted on drugs he couldn't lift his head off the floor and pornography was laying round where the kid had easy access, because the child had clean clothing, the house was spotless and there was food in the refrigerator, there was no iminent danger.

I agree that this is not a good situation in way however the post is rather harsh. I think the best thing for those babies is to be adopted by someone who is much more responsible and can afford the care they are going to need. I also think that Dr. should have his license taken away.

From what I read she actually paid for the IVF with money she got from a settlement.

The woman is obviously mentally unwell. It's scary they let her have 8 more kids. Now social services better keep an eye on this family.
