Some of the choice quotes:

Mother, 12 children leave motel for new home

I guess she didn't get a TV deal, like some others have.............

How the hell can someone take care of 12 kids?

Utterly pathetic to say the least.

EDIT-Now I see the problem:

"I can have as many as I want to," she said. All her kids, she added, "are gifts from God."

LOL! There ya go.

Somebody please take up a collection. Somebody should buy this woman a new Hummer and Airstream trailer so she can drive around town.

I'm pretty sure there are several agricultural jobs that could put her and the children to good labor. Hell, if she gets lucky, they'll get paid cash wages under the table, and then make a killing on her income tax filing!

God Bless America! Send us your tired, your poor, your taxpayer burdens...

I agree it may be stereotyping, not everybody fits into a mold despite what they look like, believe I know cause I have been stereotyped before.

And while this situation happens with white and hispanics also, there is a situation of the black community in lower income areas where fatherless kids or women with kids from multiple fathers who don't really take much responsibility happening rather often. So there is a problem to discuss even if it might be uncomfortable to do so.

Given that she is obviously coming from a low income situation, given that the dad is in prison which means he wasn't exactly a great choice to have kids with, she should have thought it out first, but didn't, or didn't care. And the sheriffs don't come take your kids for no reason. And that applies to any racial background.

I hope her kids somehow rise above and get educated and get out of the ghetto, otherwise a new generation will wind up being like this woman and like the prison father.

This is a racist thread....I know white girls who have sex with lots of guys too, and have 4 or 5 kids...only difference is that in the white community the white girls usually have family to fall back on financially.

Isnt that the truth, what do you get, $3500 per kid, * 12 kids? Didnt she just do her tax returns and what happened to all of the money that she needs to borrow from her family to stay in a hotel for a week..

I was being sarcastic, but your comment was just as racist as the other posters.. Uncle Toms also know where they come from..

my comment is not racist at all uncle toms are people who feel they are better then their own kind because they meet the standards of another kind that generally stereotypically oppresses their own kind.

with that being said i dont need to join a white world to be successful. and i said i dont need to not that i don't want to.
