Default Holy Crap II - Octuplet Mom Needs Cash

Please Login to Remove!

I could imagine that this needs to go in sensitive discussions, just based on what I think some of the comments could be. How about it? Would you pony up some cash to help her out?

No.
honestly think the doctor who is responsible for this should lose his / her license and pay for this.

I would not give her a cent.... And I hope when she puts her hand out to the Gov, they laugh her out of the welfare office....

Under normal circumstances I wouldn't donate either but if the donation goes towards keeping the kids safe from more death threats then maybe I will reconsider. That is if the reports of death threats are actually true.

It is unfortunate that the kids are now in harms way due to this. She is proving to be an unfit mother. She needs a lot more than monetary help in my opinion.

When it comes to donations, everyone keeps saying, "think about the poor kids!" Well I agree. However, I don't think the way to help those kids is to donate money to their mother. I think they should be taken away from her and put into the custody of the state. Rather than asking for money on that website, she should be seeking out adoptive parents.

No

Freaking

Way

If she needs to solicit internet donations then perhaps those kids should ALL be put up for adoption so that people who REALLY can't have children and have exhausted and failed at fertility treatments can adopt them and give them loving homes.

I hear Angelina and Brad are looking.....

ummm. let me think about this.. She lives with her parents, who are themselves strapped and live in a friggin 3 bedroom house.. Um DUH.. If you cant take care of them why are you having them, and forcing your will on your parents. Where is she taking care of her children? HER Mother is taking care of her kids. Maybe bleeding heart ABC's Extreme Home makeover should help her out.. I would pay for her to get mental help. obviously she is obsessed with being pregnant and having kids. I feel sorry for her parents, friends and other family. NEVER EVER EVER would I send this woman one dime. Heres a hint, stop spending $20,000 on Invitro fertalization and quit tasking the healthcare system to foot the $1.5million dollar and counting hospital bills. The hospital can take care of alot of other people if they arent taking care of this womans irresponsible idea of having children.

Perhaps, but at least they can afford to take care of their kids (and they contribute to worldly causes). And from all accounts, they do a lot of hands-on parenting.

I also question where this mother go the money in the first place for the invitro process. That isn't free...... The Dr. should be shot.

I have no issue with Brad & Angelina, they seem like good parents and certainly have the resources to suit a larger family.

This lady - no way. The doctor needs to lose the license and the state needs to step in.

I am not a Brad and Angie fan, but as stated they have the resources to atleast take care of the children they adopt.
