this woman should have been sterlized 14 kids ago. i can promise if she gets a show i will personally write, email and call with promises of boycotts. a number of people that i know are willing to follow. i firmly believe that she and the doctor that did that to her should be prosecuted for child endangerment. they are in it just for any money that they can make.

If she would just be truthful! Like, tell people she needs help until she figures out what path she will take. It is all about the children, not her. Any donations will help the children and they are a package deal. Either support her or don't, but remember these babies and her other six children need all the help they can get. Eventually child services will take them away from her because it's obvious that she isn't capable of caring for the kids And who would be able to. Let's remember that there are other multiple birth children and they are certainly cashing in so why shouldn't she? . Her poor parents, what a load they have to bear. Let's just pray for the whole family and let Dr. Phil help them.

I think you should leave her alone. Dude she has 14 children. And she survived. ... wow. I have 3 and its chaotic for me. Imagine she has to raise them. She could of put them up for adoption but . She didn't. So good for you octomom. I proud of you. God bless you and the little ones.

did anyone notice on her latest interview that she says "the NANNIES the I am USING" will be trained..........I AM USING? NANNIES? She thinks she is a star. Poor babies

There are so many people that are unable to have children that would be willing to adopt one of these babies and give them a proper upbringing. If this woman truly loves and cares for the babies she should give them up for adoption. Children learn what they live...and they will learn to lie and deceive just like their biological mother if she raises them. I don't believe anything that comes out of her mouth. I respect Dr.Phil and am surprised that he doesn't see through her lies.

I cannot believe that people are willing to help this irresponsible airhead. She has all these children withput a job, living with her parents, who are making out like bandits now, a new house, free childcare, to the tune of $135,000 a month, all because of her irresponsibility. AMAZING!!

I look at my young neighbors, who are struggling now because he was laid off, and they can't afford daycare and are barely making ends meet, and this witch gets everything free. UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Also, Dr. Phil, Oprah and the other media should stop lying to the public, they are paying her. How many times has she been been on Dr. Phil??? His ratings must skyrocket whenever she or a family member is on.

However, I must say she is very clever. She has turned American's opinion of her totally around.

This woman just makes me absolutely livid with anger. She has truly been scamming the American public and these people who are donating money are truly fools. Is this nation so dumbed down that they are willing to be fooled into giving her money and watch and read everything about her, just remember when you watch shows that have her on as a guest like (Oprah) you are making these people rich by tuning in and watching. It seems like she is getting more media time than any of the truly sad stories that are really happening to people in this country. While our country is going down the toilet and people are losing their jobs (through no fault of their own) and in return losing their homes and ending up in tent cities and I don’t see the American public helping any of these people. This woman is not only getting a half million dollar home while collecting welfare. She can afford the implant of all these embryos, she can afford plastic surgery and she can afford to get her French manicures

“People what fools you are, you will help this woman gain notoriety while you let the people who have worked hard all their lives lose everything, Shame on America!”

Before people go and start saying stuff they know nothing about get the whole story and the facts straight first! I am so upset with the octomom she is so completely selfish and the worst part is everyone is playing into it. I hope no one buys magazines she is on or watches any reality show she does. That is why she did it. It is ridiculous that she was on disability having kids. When you have back injuries the last thing you do is go get pregnant. So I think they need to do an investigation on that! Also the 1.5 million us tax payers are going to have to shell out for the hospital care among other things I hope they hold out and any money she does receive they make her pay not us! It was her decision to have that many and she couldn’t even feed the kids she has.

But for those categorizing her in the same category as John and Kate plus eight and Meet the Duggars. Need to do some research John and Kate both worked and were not living off the system Kate was a Registered Nurse John an IT guy. They also did not go in and implant 6 embryo’s they took a fertility drug that increases ovulation. It was a total fluke they ended up with 6 usually it can cause twins and once in a great while triplets. They only had twin girls not 6 kids. They also could take care of there kids. Meet the Duggars have been having kids for 21 years. They did not just go get pregnant with all of them at once. They own there own businesses to support there life style. They also have no debt there house cars buses, and other properties are all paid for in cash! So Do Not Put OctoMom in the same group she is mooch looking for a free ride!

Obviously if someone is liberal and has no kids or a bunch of dogs then they should be investigated for suspicious cultish behavior. By all means, lets have the goverment investigate every household, not just large families, and then if the police--oops, I mean nanny--state determines a household is "safe" then they will be free to move on with their lives, at least until the next investigation.

I think I remember that part of the constitution that the rights of the state are superior to the rights of the individual.

C'mon mob, let's go lynch this woman because we don't like her and we know what's best for her kids and everyone else's kids.

I know that the ethics of the doctor who did the operation on her, went why beyond professional. But how did a mother,already with many children, who wasn't working and was on public aid and had 2 or 3 of her present brood on Social Security benefits, pay for this operation? I guess the answer is WE paid for it with our tax dollars
