Yes she should and also put up the other 6 as well. How can a single women who DOESNT HAVE A JOB had has student loans up the *** afford 14 kids? Oh and she should douche with BLEACH! |

yawn. this question has been asked over and over again.
No, they shouldn't be. |

Should you mind your own business? I think so. |

No, of course not. Unless there is proven abuse, they should not be removed. There are many reasons why. You can look up all of those reasons in the other questions that asked the exact same thing. |

No. Her babies are very much wanted and no Court has proven her unfit to parent. |

My standard response to this question, which keeps getting asked:
I don't think the state should take the children away unless she proves to be abusive or neglectful. While she doesn't seem to be the most attentive parent ever, I don't think her previous children were being mistreated per se, and she should at least have the chance to raise her own babies.
However, there are things about her lifestyle that concern me. She has serious financial trouble, and has relied so heavily on her "support" system that they're pulling back and deciding to stop enabling her. She already had six young children, at least one of whom has serious special needs, and according to CNN was already receiving $490 per month in food stamps. I think having eight more babies was unwise, and she really needs counseling. A LOT of counseling. CPS should monitor the case, and prescribe corrective measures if needed, but shouldn't just jump straight to removal.
I don't think the state should remove children based on what MIGHT happen unless there's STRONG evidence of likely future harm. In this case, while I doubt this woman is the ideal mom, I have no reason to think she will abuse or neglect her kids. While this case is high profile, she shouldn't be treated differently from anyone else... which means she should be given a chance. |

kinda late to ask---since I think this might be at least the third time maybe in a week....
The Doctor who made the Unethical decision to complete the procedure should pay child support for the rest of the children's lives since they Will have Issues...
The Mother should parent her children--Until such time, if ever where it can be proved she is Unfit and the children are being abused. No Abuse -- Then LEAVE HER ALONE!
This is what happens when everyone Wants to Play God and Create Life so I suspect we all need to get used to it since it's apparently going to happen.
Perhaps the Definition of a Parent required to pay child support should include the third party willing to Make Life For a Buck!

Why? They're her kids and its up to her to support them. I hope she can at least afford a nanny because she has her work cut out for her! I wish her all the best.
Why do people always think of adoption like its some throw away line like its so easy to do. Some people must be deluded to think of it so lightly or be so casual about it.
(Granted. she needs counseling but the babies are here now time for debate is gone. The kids needs are what matters at this point in time.The Doctor should have been more responsible.)
If she runs into trouble there is temp foster care. That's why its there to help kids in distress. At least that way they can be reunited later. I know people who have done that to help out a desperate mother needing some assistance. Why is she suddenly being looked up by circling vulchers wanting a new born...sheesh! |

Maybe she'll get a TV show, complete with nannies. Instead of John & Kate plus 8, it might be Six plus Eight.
Meanwhile, let's just leave her alone, instead of scaring her half to death that her children might get taken away, and maybe support her to raise them some on her own.
I also think it should be mandatory that when the kids get school age, that she get a job. |

I just can't believe people think that's the way to solve this issue. Really. And just how many people want to adopt them all so they can be the ones to make the money and get the attention? |

No but I think those doctors that did the IVF should be held financially responsible for being so irresponsible. |

Should your children be taking away because you are on Y/A asking the stupid question instead of watching your own children..........
O wait,News Flash,This is just coming in.This is why the world is so messed up.People are getting into others business and not worrying about their own. |

no. Yes the womans got a ton of kids, but that in and of itself should not be a reason for taking her children.
Get a life. |

No, babies need their mothers. She definately needs counseling. The doctor who implanted all those eggs, needs counseling too. He's an idiot. |

She is crazy and shouldnt be around kids but with all the money the government is giving her and all the money people are giving her to do interview and stuff im pretty sure she makes enough to get by just fine. |

Sooner ot later the State will take custody of them. Taking care of 8 diapers plus other 6 kids round the clock, will lead to what the state will consider child neglect. Meanwhile, hurray for American Welfare (doesn't that make us feel naive?). |

Of course she should, but why would she? We (the taxpayers) are paying for them. She should give them up for adoption because even she said on one interview that its hard for her to find time to be with them, spend individual time with them, etc. That is harming the kids, especially the special needs kids that need more attention and support.
She won't give them up and I wouldn't be surprised if she had more later....She has no worries, the government and us taxpayers are paying for her rent, her food, her college, her fake nails, etc. Disgusting. |

Yes, she is selfish and crappy for not being able to financially support her children, but nobody knows how this women parents. |

I say yes. Not because she already has six children, but it appears that she has some mental problems. I love babies too, but after my fourth, I realized we couldn't afford any more. Yes, I am fertile and could keep having them, but I know that wouldn't be best for me, my already existing children or any new baby brought into the picture. Common sense and logic tell me that. Obviously, the octuplets' mom
is lacking some serious and necessary decision making skills. If she didn't have her own home for the six she already had, why would she deliberately choose to have more. She had to pay money for invitro. Anyone with life skills should have been able to determine that money would be better spent to provide a proper home for herself and first six children. This wasn't some "accident". She actively planned to have more babies, knowing she didn't have a husband to help, a home or any proper income. This serious series of bad judgements have me concerned about how these children will be raised. |
