@ Bebe...that just proves that it can be done by sane, loving parents. My father came from a family of nine children. Obviously back in those days it was hard because Mom's always stayed home with the kids. But they were all loved and well taken care of. Lots of hand me downs, but there is nothing wrong with that. And I am sure growing up in a family with 9 siblings there are many many many happy memories for you. God Bless your parents for loving, caring, and sacrificing for their children.

DCFS should help her with better housing, specifically HUD so that they can make sure that everything in the home is in working order or appoint a special social worker to come to the house and make sure that all those children have everything that they need. It seems like the state of California is partial against this woman and her children; I bet if all of her children were white with blonde hair and blue eyes they would have them on a reality show. It is perfectly obvious that this woman has some serious problems; mental health needs to step in and help her and DCFS needs to assist those children, this woman is not mentally capable to care for all those children adequately without some type of special interventions.

I grew up in family that has 10 children. Each of us are loved, were very well cared for and nobody ever had to question that!

And to Faith and all the other people harassed by the crazy nancy. I

Nancy, it isn't that everyone is 'beating up' on her. It is all just the truth! Honestly!! Can you honestly say from your heart that it's okay to let 14 children live in filth, go hungry, without clothing, AND be locked out of the house by their mother!?! To be the last thing she thinks about and putting herself BEFORE her children?? Really?!?! Go online and look up some of the past interviews she has given. The woman is psycho!! And the purpose for all of these comments is to have an intelligent conversation among other people about the subject at hand. That is why the very last word in the article says....'Discuss'. Meaning....talk about it. YOU shouldn't be taking it so personal. It has nothing to do with you or any of us. It is all about stating your opinion and discussing the facts. And the fact is....she is a horrible mother of 14 children that deserve better. Plain and simple.
