While that might be true, I imagine being separated from their brothers and sisters will be very painful. How old are the children now?

I see her as more of a mentally ill moron than a deliberate cheat. Also, with 14 children, it would be pretty easy to lose track of paperwork. It's annoying to me that the state seems to have ignored all other issues related to this woman and her poor kids, but they are right on top of the tax situation. Fuck over kids? No problem. Fuck with the state's $, go directly to jail, do not pass go.

I know she's an epic douchebag but I can't help thinking she has obvious mental health issues and it's a shame that these weren't addressed before the welfare issues. Imagine the reality show these kids are going to have once they're in their late teens and going out drinking and whatnot.

I still am amazed at the fact she has 14 healthy kids. I do believe she has some mental health issues, as well. She has needed someone to step in a long time ago. Sad.

I think she should have known that the income was reportable, but she seems to live in her own little reality. And we are talking about 30k here, not millions. I have to wonder how much she was overpaid. If they prosecute her and the kids wind up in foster care, how much will that cost the State? It's so hard to say what is best for them because no matter what happens, they are screwed.

eta: I'm not sure all those kids are healthy, I'm pretty sure several have some sort of health or developmental issues.

Oh, I guess I was just going off the tv interview, and they all seemed physically and mentally healthy. And she seemed to really take care of herself through out her pregnancy. It was amazing they didn't have extended hospital stays after their birth.

And this too. I don't feel sorry for these kids. This was ALWAYS going to happen! Sad that it took so long but here we are. Split 'em up and farm 'em out! They will all be better off... specifically, they will all be better off without that fucking trash heap of a mother! That greedy, no good, nasty bitch had these kids with the specific intent to make money! NOT because she loved kids or could provide a healthy, safe & loving environment. Fuck her in her right eye!

What really gets me about the story is the fact that she made $30,000 whole dollars and in the eyes of welfare you are supposed to support a family of 15 on that. Hilarious. That being said, I do agree that the kids need to be out of her home.

**Mel1973** · January 14th, 2014, 10:07 AM

I don't think that's what's being said. She didn't report the earning of that $30,000.00 (that they know of so far) - not that that's all she made last year.

**JadeStar70** · January 14th, 2014, 10:12 AM

Was that income from her porn film? Another fact about this broad that amazes me is that someone paid her for that, and people bought it. A bunch of twisted nuts out there.

**Mel1973** · January 14th, 2014, 10:14 AM

yes, the masturbation film.

**gas_chick** · January 14th, 2014, 10:16 AM

Vomit.

**fgg** · January 14th, 2014, 10:47 AM

i wonder how much income you don't report would be worth an investigation *thinks about someone who is definitely not reporting some income and needs some comeupance*

You need to report all income for/to public assistance. I would imagine supporting a family of 15 has a wide income threshold in terms of what you're eligible for. Also a few of her kids are autistic and some have other developmental delays. They more than likely receive SSI, early intervention services, etc.
