Where'd she get the money?

[airdvr 210]

I've been wondering about Supermom Nadya. 6 kids already, on the government teat.

Isn't invitro fertilization expensive?

An in-vitro procedure typically costs between $8,000 and $15,000. Asked on NBC how she was able to afford the treatments, Suleman said she had saved money and used some of the more than $165,000 in disability payments she received after being injured in a 1999 riot at a state mental hospital where she worked.

Yes it is! She got her money ($165,000.00) from a settlement in regard to an 'attack' at her then workplace where a patient turned violent. She denied taking welfare money but it was shown later... she did. She also had 'cosmetic work' done on her lips and nose so she would look more like that great American mom, Angelina Jolie. Three of her older kids have disabilities. Looks like she's after more of those California IOU's.

From the same article...

"I'm really angry about that," Angela Suleman said of the doctor's decision to perform the procedure. "She already has six beautiful children. Why would she do this? I'm struggling to look after her six. We had to put in bunk beds, feed them in shifts and there's children's clothing piled all over the house."

Hard to believe she had the money set aside.

I wouldn't call it welfare, but it's certainly in the vicinity of taxpayer money.

Seems more probable she was a resident at this hospital, not an employee.

In an interview, her mother said she was 'getting out'! She was tired of all the dirty clothes laying around the house and her haveing to watch her daughter's kids.

This may sound ugly but, I think, those kids... all 14, should be adopted out to families who can really take care of them. The woman couldn't really take care of the first six. Tax-payers should not have to take care of her kids.

That wasn't the welfare - the food stamps she got for her kids was welfare, though. Plus, Social Security disability payments for three of the kids.

But she's going back to school so everything will be okay.

For all the hand-wringing her mother does, it's obvious she's been enabling her daughter's choices for a long damn time. I can understand a mother not wanting to abandon her child or grandchildren, but not setting some boundaries on the amount of assistance you'll give an ADULT child sets them up for these types of situations. "Mom will always be there to bail me out."

It's amazing (though it shouldn't be) how poor the reporting has been on this. Obviously the A reporters won't have anything to do with this, but the JV ones are all over it.

One day I read claims from the mother that there isn't a dime of taxpayer money. The next I read about this injury payout, plus the food stamps and the three kids receiving SS/D. And we still see conflicting reports about whether or not there were multiple doctors involved and if they ever tried to discourage her.

And is it child abuse to have more (particularly when you have to try via medical invention, not just having fun without birth control) when it's clear that you can't handle the ones already. 6 kids, 3 disabled, is hardly the ideal candidate for IVF.

On fark.com they refer to her as the "Clown Car".
