I may be wrong, but I think she's interested in having a television career (like Kate and John, or that other show where there are 17 or 18 kids).

I do not think this woman should be rewarded by having a tv career or even by having donations of food, diapers, etc. I rather think these children should be taken away from her as she clearly has no way of providing adequate support for their care. Besides, I'd hate to see the children raised by a mother who has "head" problems. Perhaps even some of the older children need to be investigated by child welfare services. There are loads of well caring people in society who would love to adopt a child.

I realize what I've said here could upset lots of people reading this. Just saying what is my personal opinion. You have a right to a different opinion.

I think she is incredibly naive. Is she well intentioned? Who knows. But I'll bet she is loving every second of the publicity. And there is talk of a TV show for her, a book, and a movie!
