(CBS) The lawyer for the group of registered nurses that was providing free training to the nannies caring for octuplets mother Nadya Suleman's 14 children until Suleman told them to leave charges that Suleman is "AWOL" as a mother.
The head of that group describes the situation in Suleman's home as "chaotic" and totally lacking in security.
The allegations came in an interview Thursday with The Early Show co-anchor Julie Chen.
Linda West Comforti, a registered nurse and founder of Angels in Waiting, told Chen the environment in the home in the Los Angeles suburb of La Habra is "chaotic, and that's an understatement. Her older children have no bedtime schedule, no schoolwork schedule. They're up till two o'clock in the morning, running around the house. I literally, myself, had to get one out of the backyard around 1:30 in the morning, because he was outside playing. He somehow escaped the nanny that was supposedly watching the older children, and he was outside playing. And I asked him to come in.
"And that was literally minutes before we had an intruder in the backyard at Nadya Suleman's house because there is no security that has been provided for her, the nurses or the babies that are in the nursery."
Comforti says she "rarely saw Nadya Suleman. She was either out shopping or up in her bedroom or just not available, not available to me and not available to her children."

Had she gone back to Iraq with her father would she be stoned to death?
Nadya has got what she wanted. “Celebrity” status in the media.
14 kids and Octomus Prime? That’s a lot of Democrats in one family.
The amount of "chaos" in her household is not a measurement of her competence as a mother.
“Suleman is “AWOL” as a mother”.
They misspelled “A-HOLE”
I think Octomom is an octonut - but this nurse too, is way out of line.
As a registered nurse, she should know better than to go on national TV and discuss issues regarding a client.
Julie Chen! Hubba Hubba!
Celebutard status achieved
ain’t that the truth
EPIC FAIL
Exactly. I recently visited the household wherein my 3 great-grands reside.
7 years ago, BC (Before Children), the place was as sterile as a hospital operating room and as orderly as Monk’s apartment.
Now it is happy and wonderful chaos—toys all over, cookie crumbs everywhere, and joyful loud riotous children all about.
Cut Octomom a break here!
I don’t hear much about the doctor that performed this procedure. He should never be allowed to practice medicine again. If anyone has any info on this doctor please share.
The woman is a kookburger breeder-sow. Take those kids away from her and place them in loving families. Lock her up in the loony bin! To me, this IS child abuse. It should NOT be rewarded with celebrity status and cash.
I had to deal with a young mother in my store yesterday, wailing the tar out of her two very little kids. It took ALL of my self-control not to deck her, myself.
I’m in NO mood for this cr@p today, slippery slope or not! Kids. Come. First. Grrrrr!
I agree. It sounds as if the nurses now want their fifteen minutes.
Well, your typical multi-child home doesn't contain eight infants, all of whom need constant attention. That's chaos squared.

I heard that the Angels in Waiting were making unreasonable demands. For example, they wanted Nadya to spend some quality time with her six older kids instead of running around like an insane clown doing interviews and promoting herself. They wanted Nadya to develop a long-term plan on how the kids will be raised. And worst of all, they wanted Nadya to close the front door so the media would go away. These demands are ridiculous. How can Nadya dupe her adoring disciples if she doesnt get the proper exposure.
Under those circumstances, I would have no problem with a professional violating every rule and regulation in the book related to the confidentiality rights of their "client."
Poor little trophy babies. Are the nannies still there or are the children all alone with her now?
Amen.
So nobody likes Octomom. I get it. But were the “Angels” there to help, or to set the agenda? They were invited in, and then they were invited out. So why are they still involved? And why do they have a lawyer speaking for them?
