That was my understanding. I believe I'd read it was at least four of the older kids. But I could be wrong on that. I remember that was a big bone of contention when she had herself impregnated and went public with it. That, given she already had multiple children who needed increased time, attention and resources (which she was already failing with), that is was a really bad idea to take away that time, attention and resources for more children.

You are too kind. I think a Louisville slugger would be in order.

He or she is the most responsible for this situation. Anyone with two brain cells could see that Nadya is not mentally stable nor able to care for that many kids. She probably couldn't care for a dog. Yet this doctor implanted her with a bunch of embryos. It's a damn shame he/she cannot be held financially liable rather than the state.

she should have had her uterus welded shut about a gazillion kids ago.

I am surprised she has held onto the 14 kids for this long. I think she had some 'benefactors' helping her out and paying for items and nannies and cleaners.

I'm just stunned it took them this long to catch her.

Me too. I thought they would get her sooner.

It should have been ripped out and incinerated.

I hope these kids do not end up in foster care.

^^^^
i'm guessing her parents are going to end up taking care of them.

Even so, these kids are messed up. Like the Sheen boys. didn't we have pic on here of how Nadia and kids trashed the last house they were in, with writing on the wall in markers and paint, and feces smeared everywhere. What foster parent wants to re-teach these kids how to live like normal people?

It would be better for the kids, and more cost effective for Cali, to rent a home and pay staff to supervise the kids in a group home like setting.

I'm sorry for those kids that this took so long. All of the octuplets would've been are eligible for EI services, I hope they've been receiving them. Anybody with a background in psychology, human development, or special education could look at the pics of her former homes and know that the taxpayers of California will be paying for services for these kids for a long long time, whether they are with their mother or not.
