There is NO WAY one person can give the care and attention needed to 14 children all by herself.
I AM one of the welfare Mom's that all you tax payers are paying for. Out of necessity. Not want. Believe it! I have a severely disabled 15 year old son. He is autistic, epileptic and is fed 24/7 via a gastric pump. Understand I'm not complaining one bit. He IS my life. I knew when he was 10 months old that he had issues and had my tubes tied. Having a child on the "spectrum", how can you honestly say that she could care for all 14?? Why in hell did she want more children. She already had 6 and one autistic. Not only will that child not get the attention he will desperately need, but there is a good chance that others may also be on the spectrum. Genetically that's a fact. THAT is what's got me upset.
Incredibly selfish!!! I can only hope and pray that Child Protective Services does a thorough investigation before allowing those prescious babies to go home with her.
One more thing. She CHOSE to have the babies and live off the system. Not fair to the taxpayer OR my son. We are on the system out of necessity. As of Jan/09 many of his medications and supplies are no longer paid for by the "system". I can barely get by on the $900 we get a month and have to ask family to pay for things. So yes, myself and taxpayer absolutely have the right to be pissed!
Okay...I'll get off my soap box |
Thank you for your honesty. The same thing crossed my mind about having even more special needs children. It' bound to happen with the number and weights of these little ones. My daughter has three children and the last was born with multiple and some rare birth defects. I have witnessed first hand what it takes to tend to their daughters needs and the two other children pay a price for it. Ainsley is also tube fed and has a trach and numerous other medical issues that need to be dealt with. I know what it takes financially as well as emotionallly to care for them. I hope you have no guilt in being taken care of by the system as you are doing something so important in caring for you child. Many years ago they were place in institutions and we all know they do not receive the love and care they need. I admire anyone who can do what you are doing for your son. We all know what it takes to take of a child with special needs and this woman put herself and these children at a very high risk. For the children's sake, I hope I'm wrong and they will all be healthy!!!
