I heard tonight she had to take her kids and go to hotel because people had said the would kill her or something. Well I wonder if it is because everyday something comes out about this loon. Why would you even think putting a web site up with your childrens pictures is a great thing to do. I also heard that people are calling the state of California complaining that this MOm should not get anything anymore. She had those children by choice and she knew she couldn't pay for them.

I might B*tch and moan,and have opinions about this whacked out situation, BUT anyone throwing out death threats REALLY ought to be ashamed...to say or think that horrible of a thought is just as sick and mentally unstable as this mother is appearing to be.

I agree about the death treats but she knew already people didn't like this , yet she just keeps going with it. She isn't going to get donations from companies I don't think . THis story just isn't heart warming. I guess some people might send her money based on the children. I wouldn't. I hope any money she gets she is reporting this to Social Service because it is income. Although you would already think they would have a welfare case here that she failed to inform before. I wouldn't be surprised if some star right there in her state comes forward and saves her, with a house and nannies and all that.

If she goes to a hotel I wonder if she will take her kids though It will also generate more publicity which I suspect is A plus for her sick mind.

I agree that the death threats are horribly wrong. BUT, you do have to admit she brought all this on herself. She, in a sick way, probably enjoys the added attention of the death threats.

I love how the website says its her "family" yet it ONLY has the 8. I also like how the biggest picture of all is of her and how they have the little credit card logos right there on the page.

HA! How does a woman with 14 kids - 8 of which are one week old - have the time to go shopping or to play video games?

[SIZE=2]It makes me very uncomfortable to realize that excessive language and excessive trashing on this thread comes from some people who are educators.

I try to imagine a teacher whose class has children from multi-siblings family.

Whether the mother gave birth to 20 children every year.
Whether the mother gave birth to twins every year for 10 years.
Whether the mother gave only 4 births to quintiplets 4 years in a row.
Whether the mother gave birth 3 times only, to all 20 children.

Whichever way!

The teacher of her children realizes, of course, that this mother has financial government help. The teacher calling the mother "a nutjob" in every reference is very unsettling for me. Does anyone feel this way?

The kids, whatever poor family they come from, are supposed to be the purpose and the light of the teacher, no?

It would be very unsettling for me if I learned that my daughter's teacher was participating in a berating behavior (of anyone!) on the side.

This is just so incompatible, just like a doctor berating patient's lifestyle in his free time.

Some professions have to uphold some standards in all situations, no? Do no harm?

PS: A mother buying games for her 7- or 5-year-old children could be me or you - that's what mothers of 7- or 5-year-olds do, sooner or later (and no, I don't want to go here into a discussion of appropriateness of video games).
