OCTO MOM NADYA SULEMAN ON WELFARE & FOOD STAMPS 3 KIDS ON DISABILITY INTERVIEW VIDEO

We've got to say that the Octo Mom is not only crazy but officially insane. The mother of 14 children had more kids despite the fact that she couldn't afford them. Nadya Suleman has launched a website begging for donations and admits to living off her disability checks and student loan money. Nadya claims she is not on welfare but admits she is receiving public assistance to take care of some of her mentally disabled special needs children.

Many fertility experts have called this medical procedure unethical. Anne Curry asked more questions of the Octo-mom on Dateline NBC. Watch more of Anne Curry's interview with Nadya Suleman.

The Octo mom's mother, Angela Suleman says she's had enough. The mother of Nadya Suleman, the woman who just gave birth to eight babies, says her daughter was obsessed with having children.  Oh, and another thing? Don't expect grandma to babysit. Angela Suleman says that when her daughter, who already has six children, gets home from the hospital, "I'm going to be gone." source

She is receiving public assistance and denies having an Angelina Jolie obsession which involves paying for plastic surgery to look like the movie star. 

At one point in the interview Suleman says she almost lost the babies and had to hibernate like a bear for six weeks while her mother watched her six children.

Nadya Suleman, the mother of the octuplets born last month, gets $490 a month in food stamps, the Los Angeles Times reported Monday evening. Three of her first children also get federal supplemental security income because they are disabled, the Times reported.

Suleman's publicist, Michael Furtney, confirmed the information.

During an interview with Ann Curry on the TODAY show, Suleman denied being on welfare. Suleman told NBC News correspondent Ann Curry in an interview that she was not receiving welfare. Furtney said Suleman didn't consider the food stamps and SSI to be welfare.

"In Nadya's view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program ... and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare," he said. "They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare."

Furtney declined to say what kinds of disabilities the three children have, the Times reported.

During the interview with Curry, Suleman said, "I'm not receiving help from the government. I'm not trying to expect anything from anybody. [I] just wanted to do it on my own. Any resources that someone would really, really want to help us, I will accept, I would embrace.”

Curry told Suleman that many people think she had the octuplets in the hope of making money off her story.

“That's funny how untrue that is,” Suleman said. “Money? Money is necessary to raise children. But it's — it's paper. It is paper. To me, it is superfluous in contrast to the importance of my kids.” source

wow I am outraged why does the state allow this woman to bring home these children she does not have a job I feel for her mother that has to help raise these children. I think these babies need to be adopted out

It is completely shocking what this leech says about welfare. She evidently is a drain to society, but what the California government should do now, is to take away all the WELFARE help that this "woman" is receiving; WELFARE that the good hardworking California taxpayers are paying out of their own pockets. Something needs to be done with regards to this matter, if the government sets an example taking away this welfare that she is receiving, these hopefully would discourage other woman out there that most likely are trying to take advantage of the hardworking citizens. If the government don’t do something about it we will need to create another world and put resources in it to support this type of leeches.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES! WHO ARE WE TO JUDGE? I KNOW THAT IF SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, WE COULD TAKE A LOOK INTO SOME OF THE LIVES OF THOSE WHO ARE BEING JUDGEMENTAL AND ACTING OUT OF ANGER TOWARDS HER, THAT THERE WOULD BE MANY SKELETONS THEY WOULD BE ASHAMED OF!YES IT SEEMS AS THOUGH SHE MAY HAVE DIFFICULTY, IN FANANCIALLY CARING FOR HER CHILDREN,BUT INSTEAD OF CRITISISING HER ABOUT HER MISTAKE WHY DON'T WE TRY TO SOFTEN OUR HEARTS AND LISTEN TO OTHERS WHO ARE (REACHING OUT FOR HELP ). I READ A FEW OF THE COMMENTS POSTED ON THIS SITE AND WAS AMAZED ON HOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE SO QUIK TO WANT TO HAVE THE CHILDREN PLACED IN OTHER HOMES . WHO IS TO SAY THEY WILL BE LOVED AS MUCH AS SHE LOVES THEM? I WAS PLACED IN A FOSTER HOME AT A YOUNG AGE AND IT DESTROYED ME. AND YES MY MOTHER AND FATHER BOTH HAD MAJOR ISSUES, BUT RATHER THAN FIXING THE PROBLEM , OTHERS WERE VERY QUIK TO JUDGE AND WANTED US PLACED IN ANOTHER HOME. ( ITS TRAMATISING)....UNLESS YOU HAVE BEEN IN THIS SITUATION BEFORE I FEEL YOU SHOULD REALLY STEP INTO HER SHOES AND THINK ABOUT BEING SO QUIK TO JUDGE.EVERYONE NEEDS A HELPING HAND NOW AND AGAIN, WHETHER YOU ARE LIVE ON TV OR BEHIND THE SCREENS....NOBODY IS PERFECT!!!!

I think for all the talks, what people can start doing is help the inncoent child.
Even I grew up in a big family, I don't see nothing wrong with that! Yes, everyone struggle- we all don't live like celebrities!!!
But for me, I am so thankful for my parents for having me... I have older brothers and sisters, who are there for me when I need them- that's what a big family is for, to have some one to look up to, to seek for, and to help eachother out!!!
I know alot of my friends who are the only child, who would want a sister or brother...
She is going through alot... for crisis- being a single mother of 14 child and the public!!!
Than all the saying she wants to be like a Angelena J.?
What is peoples points these day?
Yeah words are just all talk, but for that one person who is struggling and still taking all the bullshit everyday what others have to say... Im sure it will hurt the same for all of us if we was in her place.
Who knows did she want that to happen, did she know it was going to turn out like this?

Didnt we all believe there was a God?
Will, maybe God chosen her to have this many of kids!!!
