Octomom: Should Her Kids Be Taken Away?

by at .

Should Octomom Nadya Suleman have custody of her 14 kids transferred to local officials? She's clearly in way over her head, and currently under investigation by DCFS over the horrendous living conditions in her La Habra, Calif., residence.

This has renewed debate over what is in the children's best interest.

Octo Mom

Octomom's hairstylist, Stephanie, called the cops on her after laying eyes on the squalor - one working toilet, graffiti, malnourished and unclean bodies - first hand.

DCFS officials are deciding what to do with the children, though Orange County police said Wednesday that no criminal investigation against Nadya is pending.

Cops who conducted preliminary interviews at the home said “no crimes were noticed,” but that doesn't mean she can't - and shouldn't - give up her brood.

Sad as it is, if kids are defecating outside, sleeping on floors and getting locked in rooms while Nadya Suleman does chores, would they be better off elsewhere?

No one wants a family to be broken up, but she's not doing those kids - or taxpayers - any favors right now. Tell us: Should Octomom's kids be taken away?

    I think she needs help. There is no indication that she doesnt love her kids. It is not her fault that she has so many kids. The story is sad. If she lived near me, I would help her. She is trying to make a living for herself but how can you work when you have 14 kids at home who will need you. I think the media shows time and time again how insensitive it is. The woman who cut her hair should have offered to help if she could not judge her. Maybe she thought if she reported it, maybe she could get some help. Local churches would help her. Churches value family and would certainly make an effort to make a difference in her life and her children's lives. I feel sorry for her and the kids.

    In the past when a mom had multiple births the town chipped in and built a huge house, offered free groceries,education, babysitting, etc...Dad 's quit work to stay home and help. WHY is this woman being punished and made to suffer? She didn't plan on multiple births but now these children are here and we SHOULD HELP. What has been done to her is not fair! It just isn't right. Let's celebrate the CHILDREN.

    @Jean... she obviously isn't feeling TOO terrible considering that she just spent $520 getting her hair cut. YEAH. Those kids obviously don't take priority to her, so they need to go to homes where they will be PROPERLY cared for.
