LOS ANGELES (AP) – The mother of the woman who used a fertility doctor to give birth to octuplets, despite already having six young children, called her daughter’s actions “unconscionable” in a videotaped interview.

Angela Suleman is caring for the six older children while her daughter is hospitalized after giving birth January 26 to the octuplets.

“She already has six beautiful children, why would she do this?” Angela Suleman said. “I’m struggling to look after her six. We had to put in bunk beds, feed them in shifts and there’s children’s clothing piled all over the house.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) – The Southern California mother of octuplets receives $490 a month in food stamps and three of her first six children are disabled and receiving federal istance, her publicist confirmed Monday evening.

Spokesman Michael Furtney said Suleman did not want to disclose the nature of the disabilities, or the type or sum of the payments.

Furtney confirmed the public istance payments after two sources told The Los Angeles Times that Suleman was receiving food stamps and federal supplemental security income.

“In her view these are just payments made for people with legitimate needs and are not, in her view, welfare,” Furtney said. “She just believes that there are programs for people with needs and she and her children qualify for some of them.”

In an interview that aired Monday, Suleman told NBC “Today” show anchor Ann Curry that she does not receive welfare.

Her six other children are under the age of 7. All 14 children were the result of in-vitro fertilization. [FEB 09 2009]
