Octuplets' family had 'filed for bankruptcy and fled their home'

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 30th January 2009

The family of a set of octuplets born earlier this week allegedly filed for bankruptcy and abandoned a home, it has been claimed.

The report came as the mother who gave birth to the octuplets - giving her a grand total of 14 children - spoke for the first time, saying her babies are 'miraculous'.

But as more details emerged about her massive family, she became caught up in an ethics row over how an apparently single mother - who already had six children all under the age of seven, and whose family had apparently been in dire financial straits - was able to get fertility treatment.

That’s the real question.......who paid for the fertility treatment. Not much else really matters, IMHO.

Looks like some news sources, at least, are willing to look below the ‘aw, ain’t that sweet’ level on this story.

I'd also be interested in knowing who's going to pay for the raising of her 12 kids.

You paid for it. Just like you and I are gonna pay for 350,000,000 std prevention if we can’t stop the currently drafted “stimulus” bill.

If you are paid to have children, it’s a mini-industry.

This is unfolding as an ever-more bizarre story. Local KFI radio host Bill Handel was simulcast on Fox yesterday morning. That’s when I learned she already had 6 children. I had not heard mention of a father and this story confirms: no Dad.

Now we find out the only man in her life, her father, is an Iraqi.

It’s very weird but I still wish all the children well.

Well, figure it out. If that Muslim woman with lots of kids got a free 2 million pound Council House, what kind of a house do you get for 14 kids?

If they drag their feet on it, she can always say that she is a Muslim. That key will open any door in the UK these days.

This story is so shrouded with intrigue and mystery that it makes me think there is surely a lot more to be outraged over.

So much for Hussein’s new “transparency”.

I don’t think the article says he’s an Iraqi, but rather that he is working as a contractor in Iraq.

All the news the American MSM won't print.

I've read some of the International Press is showing interest in examining Obama more closely than our own press.

Never ever have sex with a woman on fertility drugs. The child support payments will kill you.

What are you two trying to get at with this “mirror” stuff? Spell it out, please.

This is a bizarre story that raises lots of questions, such as the single Mom’s source of income.
