Eight Is Enough

" Well she denied that she was accepting public assistance for her preexisting six older children. But now we learn the mother of these new up -- wasn't exactly telling the truth. This single unemployed mother of fourteen Nadia Solomon was indeed on federal assistance despite the fact that she denied it. This is a picture. From inside the home she shares with now get this her two parents. Her six older children as soon to be here -- at tablets coming -- fourteen children. And three adults look at this look at these pictures. So are the cash strapped Californians. Going to foot the bill to feed his growing family. Joining us now is doctor Linda held and the senior policy adviser to California State senator Sam on -- into the California State senate. Dr. good morning to you. Good morning. All right so I know that your state senator had said for a look at we find out this woman is on public assistance that it's the people's business. Just how many children she has just how many embryos she decides to have implanted because. Now we learn that indeed she gets 400 to 490 dollars a month in food stamps three the first six children are disabled and getting federal assistance a half of her. Pre existing children -- getting federal dollars. And we have no idea how she's going to support these septuplets other -- probably more federal assistance is at the State's business."

" At this point it becomes -- state business while we need. As certainly the senator think that there's no role for the legislature to play -- telling people how big their family should be. At this point it it's a fairness problem because we're asking taxpayers to look at Dell. When they're struggling to meet the needs of their own families and that's the point where the legislature needs to take a look at priority."

" Right and you know that it's interesting that she denied when she spoke with NBC's in curry that she was receiving any welfare. But conveniently omitted the fact that she is getting several hundred dollars worth of food stamps in her children aren't on disability and she. Received over a 100000 dollars in disability payments for some injury she had an. On an on it goes you'll have a woman doesn't have a job. So the put the prop the bottom line is no matter what the objections are the California taxpayers are going to basically raise these children they got."

" It sounds like that it happened and certainly this bears investigation because if we are in fact senior responsible for the people who are -- attacks meaning the taxpayers. We have to take a look at that and certainly the voters need to take a look at. Whether or not their families are the priority or if we are simply burdening them. With this type of thing which which include funding. The other issue that we have is. What the Karen that was given her and her children would that was in the standard doors that were issued for the medical board of California and that is something that's being investigated currently."

" Right -- the fertility doctor and we have the same information you have at the medical board of California is investigating that fertility doctor. To see whether there was a violation. And and now we learned. What we believe is the name -- that doctors who -- the mother admits that she says it was the west coast IVF clinic that implanted at the embryos that's the first we heard about this week. And now the speculation is that the doctor there doctor Michael come rob. Is the one who did it there's some conflict between the grandmother of the -- tablets and the mother of the act tough with about which doctor it's it's murky but he appears to be the doctor. Who did it could this guy loses license."

" I think he ought to go through the due process. As any professionals should. You hit something that's very important not to do prematurely because they can really damage. Reputations of good doctors to we have to have the facts and another factor going to come from the medical board investigation and look at these I was."

" There's not enough you can see your screen but look at look at look at having six children had already been living and now she's bringing eight more home what we're told is a two bedroom house. -- grandparents and wanton and should you know this woman and her fourteen children in the other it's just. I hope the division of child and family services takes a look at this situation to be the final word that I got to run quickly."

" Our priority is the health and safety of these children and the safety of the mother and has -- something was done. That really in -- and the type of experiment. And that's something we have to know about we certainly don't and explanations for the taxpayers of California. More now on the hunt for 42 billion dollars."

" I can't imagine acceptable doctor thanks so much for being with us."
