Why did the mother of the Octuplets lie about welfare?

[20Jan09eAgooddaye]

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. However it was discovered she is getting big bucks from taxpayers to raise these children at taxpayers expense. Her hospital blll alone is over 500,000 dollars. The mother has no money to pay.

First let me say, this is so sad, there will be no winners.
The woman is clearly unbalanced. She doesn't see the first six children as individual people and she won't the eight she just brought into this world.
She is their mother. If she has three children with disabilities and is giving them all the care and attention they deserve, she couldn't possibly have time to to care for one new baby, let alone eight.
In my opinion, for the good of those babies, she needs to put them all up for adoption and the State require she be sterilized. Sex offenders and Child Molesters are forced to undergo chemical castration, I think this is absolutely as cruel as some cases of Child Molesters, she should never have another child to abuse.
Fourteen adults will come out of this 'home', how many will have normal lives? God help those children.
