This son is in the autism spectrum somewhere. I have a shirt-tail cousin with Asperger's (now an adult), and he could be a holy terror at that age. I wonder why--if this story is even true--he has picked out his grandma for this kind of "attention." Perhaps, he has observed her and his mother in heated discussions and has gotten the idea that she's bad news, so he's protecting his mom. But it seems to me that Nadya is doing quite well at raising her kids--and remember that she also has nannies in the house, so it's hard for me to even believe this story, as there would have been several adults around to have calmed him down. Seems to me as if this story is either totally-untrue or else is only partially-true, but it's just more sordid gossip to try to bring Nadya down.
About her back injury...it restricted her from doing all of the work she did before, but she worked at the same place in other capacities long after this happened.
Unless you're going to describe any baby/child photographed frequently due to being unique in some way (a multiple, sibling of multiples, child of celebrities, etc.) as being born to work, this definition doesn't fit Nadya's kids.
Nadya's mom doesn't see the problem with the photographers, saying that the babies are too young to even be aware of them and that the older kids enjoy the attention.
This seems like an honest way to raise money.
Around here, owners of small businesses have been known to include their kids and/or grandkids in commercials from the time they're small.
We have this one business that has sold pools and other outdoor equipment for years.
Their daughter (when I first noticed the commercials) was a teenager at the time. Likely, she was probably a child when she first started being included.
She got married a few years ago, and she and her husband are now expecting their first child, and she's doing the commercials obviously pregnant.
My guess is that she will probably end up doing commercials holding her baby in time.
Anyway, imo, no child is being exploited unless he/she is being harmed.
I AM getting real, Vicki--and the reality isn't pretty!
Had Nadya been married, not of Iraqi descent, or whatever else has set her aside as different, these charges wouldn't have been brought against her.
Nobody has every been concerned about the filming of other children who have, somehow, become celebrities whether those kids were other multiples, the children of famous people, or whatever.
This is, obviously, just persecution of Nadya because she's not popular.
Furthermore, why IS she so unpopular? It's because of the "spin" that various ones of the media put on her story. She has been made the scapegoat of haters to hate on. You would think that she had gone to a daycare center and chopped up a bunch of kids and ate them instead of choosing not to abort any of her babies upon finding out that there were more than the expected one or two in her womb this time around.
I'm not the only person who is starting to see through this bull. In fact, I didn't just start to see through it but saw through it right from the first when it wasn't cool. Others who share my views are starting to come out and express them. I don't know if they had different views at first and changed them or if they had always seen this feeding frenzy for what it is but were waiting for the most effective time to stick out their necks.
No, I'm not Nadya. I'm a real person from Indiana and nearly a quarter of a century older and childless.
But I just don't like this trend of using cruelty for entertainment, whether it's the media encouraging ganging up on a single mother or what constitutes REAL exploitation of children and teens such as what you see on Maury when he has those gosh-awful shows with overweight children being paraded around in diapers while the audience boos and them and their parents or those troubled teens and tweens who first get booed at and, then, get barked at by boot-camp officials until they're reduced to tears.
THAT is child exploitation and not merely recording kids like you would for home movies.
These trumped-up charges are just more bull connected with self-righteous Gloria's determination to destroy this family.
I'm starting to think that Gloria must be jealous/feel threatened by Nadya in some way. That is, she might be insecure about her own abilities as a mother or she might just resent a strong and secure woman.
Get a life, Gloria, and leave this family alone! NOW!!!
Dana! Good for you! It's nice to come across people like you and Lydia who really "get it" when it comes to this situation.
In shaky times like these, people feel threatened by those who are "different" and hating frenzies get generated.
A friend has a son with a defective pituitary gland that makes it hard for him to keep his weight off--and he gets taunted and bullied at school because of it.
A girl in middle school notices that special needs kids who ride her bus are getting taunted and bullied, so she tries to put a stop to it--and gets boycotted for almost an entire school year when it comes to having friends.
Neither the young man with the physical challenge that keeps him overweight nor the young lady doing the right thing could be accused of being irresponsible, vain, selfish, etc.
Yet, they share something with Nadya: They've become the peck-ees in the pecking order of things.
Quit threatening people who want to help Nadya and her family. She wouldn't have had any problem getting TV time, supplies, etc. if not for the threats of boycott or worse going against TV stations, organizations, companies, individuals, etc.
To anyone involved in creating an atmosphere where Nadya and her family keep on getting doors slammed in their faces, find something more positive to do with your lives.
Nadya hoped that she would fit into the neighborhood instead of being an outcast.
When death threats are made against you and your family and your property vandalized, you have the right to as much police protection as you can get.
I hope that there is at least one neighbor who thinks like you do and has the courage to show it. There probably ARE neighbors there who would love to drop by for a visit and/or invite Nadya over to their homes, but they might also become shunned and threatened.
Lydia, keep on being bold and outspoken! It's said that you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything--such as this mob mentality of hating on Nadya and family.
If anyone is interested...

What I don't understand is why people who are, supposedly, so upset that they might be paying for this family through their taxes want to close other avenues of support for them--avenues of support that have always been acceptable in the past for families with a huge number of multiples.
Removing the kids from her home would also involve tax dollars.
Why are some people hating on this woman? Is this like the thing about gay marriages destroying the institution of marriage? Does this woman going it alone to bear children pose a threat to the institution of marriage somehow.
The only thing posing a threat to the institution of marriage is how people get married for all of the wrong reasons.
If you get married for the wrong reasons, you don't need a gay couple or a single mom to put your marriage in the toilet, because it's already there.
I wish that people wouldn't set this family up for failure! At least, keep the playing field fair so that this family with multiples gets the same opportunities for help as others have in the past.
