Octomom trouble: Is she an unfit mother?

Octomom trouble: Is she an unfit mother?

Shocking reports surface, and social services investigates

Uh oh, Nadya Suleman, otherwise known as Octomom, might be in big trouble. Earlier this week, a report surfaced that Suleman, mother of 14 kids, was living in "squalor" with the children at her home in La Habra, California. Suleman's former hair stylist claims that conditions in Octomom's house are horrible, and that prompted her to file a formal complaint with police.

On Tuesday, authorities and members of the Orange County Social Services department went to Nadya Suleman's house to check things out. At this point, it's not known exactly what they saw, but it was enough to satisfy. For now. This story is far from over, I'm afraid. Is anyone surprised by all of this? Nadya Suleman's money troubles are nothing new, and with that many mouths to feed, it's no wonder she's in trouble!These allegations are extremely serious, and terribly sad. I only hope that they aren't true. TMZ was the first to break the story, and now they're following up, posting potentially damaging photos that purportedly show some of the kids using the restroom outside in what looks like portable toilets. There's graffiti everywhere (inside and outside the house) and the children look pretty unclean. This isn't good.

According to TMZ, police "determined the kids were not in danger," but added that officials will follow up. No doubt they will!  Octomom's former hairdresser, identified only as "Stephanie," is quoted as saying that Suleman's children "are in desperate need of help."

Anything Nadya Suleman does seems to be fodder for tabloid headlines, but something like this gets everyone's attention. If the children are being neglected, as the hair stylist claims, it will come out. Hopefully the proper authorities will indeed follow up, to make sure that each and every one of Octomom's children are being well taken care of.
