Donate to the Suleman Octuplets!

LOS ANGELES (AFP) – The mother of octuplets born in California is staying at "an undisclosed location" after receiving a death threats, her spokesman confirmed on Thursday.

Nadya Suleman, whose decision to give birth to the octuplets after undergoing fertility treatment despite already having six children, was expected to return home later this week, Michael Furtney told AFP.

Suleman has been staying at an undisclosed location -- reportedly a hotel -- after leaving hospital following advice from security advisors, Furtney said.

"We agreed that while many of the threats were not serious, they were certainly serious enough that he suggested that we took the precaution of being in a place that was safe and secure," Furtney told AFP.

"I believe now she?s getting ready to go home. I?m not 100 percent certain of the timing but it?s likely to be in the next day or two."

Furtney said Suleman had received a "mix" of positive and negative messages following the octuplets' birth. "In the last day or so there has been I think an increase in the numbers of positive ones which is heartening," he said.

Suleman has set up a website -- www.thenadyasulemanfamily.com -- where wellwishers can post messages or make a donation.
"There have been many calls and offers," Furtney said. "One woman even offered to send breast milk. A farm family in the midwest offered to have Nadya and her children come live them. There's been an amazing variety."

Suleman's case has triggered condemnation, with her mother criticizing her daughter's decision to have the children as "unconscionable" while fertility experts slammed the Beverly Hills clinic which carried out her treatment.

The Medical Board of California is investigating the case.

Under guidelines issued by the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM), a woman Suleman's age should have no more than two embryos implanted.

Experts say multiple-birth babies are often born prematurely -- Suleman's octuplets were born nine-and-a-half weeks early -- which puts them at significantly greater risk of long-term health problems.

Yeah...the death threats I think are terrible. She's already crazy, and to drive her even more nuts knowing she is gonna raise 14 kids is a bad idea.....

Girl, I'm switching to Bare Minerals makeup. Them muthafuckas got me with their fucking infomercial. There should be a law that deactivates credit cards between 2 and 6 am cuz they always catch me at my weakest. lol Have you ever used it? I was thinking about starting a thread.

the media and people in general need to lay off of this woman. if she truly has mental health issues, they need to be addressed by professionals. what will the likes of Nancy Grace do if, from all the pressure on her, this woman just cracks and kills all her kids? in the interest of ratings, people's lives are being destroyed. any one of us could be next. this needs to stop.

Fuck no, she's not getting a red cent from me. This woman clearly has mental problems. I'm not going to help her pay for some kids that she knew that she could not afford to begin with. disbelief This woman needs to be put away in a mental hospital, pronto! And the dumb doctor who agreed to do this procedure on her (he probably knew already that she had six kids and no job) needs to be thrown in jail, pronto! I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for this idiot woman. She made her bed, now she can lie in it.
RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you.
