21-year-old mum of 6 says doctors sterilised her without consent

[misrule]

How much do you get for the "Baby Bonus" nowadays? is it $5K? Because at 6 kids she's already pocketed $30 000.00, plus benefits for each child because she'd have a hard time working with 6 small kids at such a young age...

Besides, you need a court order to sterilise someone against their will, and it's hard to get, regardless of the circumstances - I know this for a fact and I've seen what it takes to get it done. No doctor is going to perform that procedure without legal consent. No way no how, even if the person undergoing the procedure is probably going to be incapable of suing.

And damn, 6 kids at 21?! WTF!

Unless she was drugged or mentally incapable due to a previously undetected mental condition, unfortunately greed and the need to breed don't count, when the papers were presented for her signature, she can stfu. She should have thought about the possibility she would still want more children in her thirties, considering even all of her children will be in their late teens or twenties when she is 40!

She should also consider her uterus is just plain worn out and could have ruptured next pregnancy. I doubt it will be repaired by her 30's either. Any other pregnancies would have been very high risk. I am not sure she grasps that. She was not hit over the head & sterilized. This was done after her consent,I really believe.

Oh please...6 children by c section? After 3 in this country they start warning you about uterine rupture. AND who exactly is supporting The Fertile One and her half dozen children? She must be a friend of Octo Mom

I'll be she's on the sole parent pension, in a housing commission house.
