Why did Nadya Suleman (Octomom) Nix Free 24-hour Child Care?
LA Times ^ | 2/1/09 | Elizabeth Snead

Posted on 03/02/2009 4:22:06 AM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

The Octomom — mother of 14 IVF conceived children — has officially passed on an offer of free 24-hour nursing care for her kids by the nonprofit group Angels in Waiting.

AP reports that the group’s founder said that Suleman seemed to lose interest in their offer after they ruled out her request to do a reality show around her childrens' care.

Those poor, poor kids.

Who turns down free 24-hour care for their children?

Is Nadya holding out for a better deal? One that includes TV rights and a book contract?

Angels in Waiting lawyer Gloria Allred said she filed a request for an investigation with Los Angeles County Child and Family Services into how Suleman will care for her children.

Wrong.

Money and attention.

She truly is a disgusting piece of evidence of how far Western civilization has declined.

The desire for fame, even notorious fame, has all the marks of the influence of evil angels.

Miss Suleman needs help and lots of it, but I have to wonder if that attention whore allred is the best person to get it from.

Her approach to the woman was either take what I offer or I’ll punish you by having the state take your kids away.

I wouldn’t want help from someone who had threatened me either.

LOL, those Angels have got Gloria Allred on Octomom's tail. Pass the popcorn.

What choice does she have? Unless she's negotiating a reality show that the press doesn't know about....

I'm not a Gloria Allred fan, but I hope that Gloria Allred succeeds in getting child protective services to make sure that those babies will get proper care.

This chick probably thinks that reality TV show that builds houses for people will come to her rescue, along with the Trick My Truck show with some kind of 15 passenger van and perhaps a spot on Oprah where here kids all get college scholarships.

I have no idea, but the offer was carrot and stick, some people react badly to sticks.

Unless she's negotiating a reality show that the press doesn't know about....

We'll find out soon enough I suppose. I'm sure she's been made other offers, but if she lets allred in, allred will tie her down so all communications come through her and only if allred is also on camera at the same time.

She wants to do a reality show? She is about as far from reality as it gets. Even the LA times feels sorry for the kids she brought into the world.

Everytime I see Octomom on tv, I’m struck by how delusional she is. She doesn’t have a house, 8 cribs, infant car seats, diaper supplies, formula, people to feed those babies or any income. Her mother already has her hands full with the other six, and her house is being foreclosed.

I didn’t say the woman wasn’t a complete loon. Personally I think she’s certifiable and needs a keeper herself.

I want those babies to be protected and cared for as much as anyone and I wouldn’t refuse any reasonable offer of help under similar circumstances, but something just doesn’t smell right about allred.

Shysters rarely get involved without seeing a personal benefit of some sort and I strongly suspect she is no exception. I’m betting for her, this is all about the cameras, the babies are an opportunity to get her face on Fox and cnn and nothing else.
