She has six children, before this. I see why the spotlight is there but can’t help but feel for them. I know very few people with perfectly sane families. Maybe I’m just being ridiculous.
Oy. I think you are being a little ridiculous - you are right; no perfect families but this woman purposefully had embryos placed inside her uterus - it wasn’t an accident - and she did it time after time after time, all while having NO husband, thus NO father for the children. Do you think children deserve to have a mother AND a father? I do. I know not all children have that scenario whether through death or other bad situations, but they all DESERVE it. This lady is selfish well beyond the normal selfishness of today’s youth - selfish and egotistical. It looks like she has had some cosmetic touches to her lips and so on as well - maybe she’s just a narcissist. I don’t know - I’m not a psychologist or a psychiatrist, but I don’t think it takes a medical person to detect serious pathology here. Even her mom and dad are worried.
I’m not arguing with anything you just said. The older kids should be sheltered IMO. They go to school and hear their ‘less than sane’ mom’s 911 call? I don’t agree with that. They did nothing wrong. Take the kids or leave them IMO. Don’t turn them all into quasi michael jacksonish spawn...
BTW. I consider this to be an explosive media event. It advances state’s rights over parents. Just like the Euro model. You don’t have to dig too far.
I don’t give a rat’s tush about this case other than two simple facts:
1. This lady is a kook and mentally unfit and the STATE might have a right in taking away her children, because children who are abused and raised by kooks become ALL of our problem down the road.
2. This lady is going to cost the people of California a ton of money over the lifetime of these children all because she was a selfish and irresponsible moron.
It’s a big media event for good reason. Most media circuses are for things that are so trivial and I do not think this situation is trivial on any level at all.
Frankly, what I think should happen is that THE State (of California, that is) should SUE that irresponsible and unethical “doctor” for the money they are going to have to outlay for the care of those children.
I don’t think this case advances states’ rights at all. It might, however, advance some common sense.
