Follow up: Octomom charged with welfare fraud...

 Nadya Suleman is innocent until proven guilty, but it is hard to have any sympathy for her. Any single woman who has eight children out of wedlock has very poor judgement.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Nadya Suleman, who gained fame as "Octomom" after giving birth to eight babies, has been charged with welfare fraud after failing to report $30,000 in earnings while she collected public assistance, authorities said Monday.

Suleman, whose real name is Natalie Denise Suleman, was ordered to appear in court on Friday, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said in a statement. She was not immediately taken into custody.

Suleman was charged Jan. 6 with one count of aid by misrepresentation and two counts of perjury by false application. If convicted, she could face up to five years and eight months in jail.

Report: Octomom on welfare

Why a woman with six kids, no job and no spouse wanted to have more children is beyond me. It looks like taxpayers are helping foot the bill.

Nadya Suleman, who famously gave birth to octuplets in 2009, is now receiving assistance from the state of California, TMZ reported. Suleman, who has 14 children in total, will receive $2,000 a month that can be used only on food, according to state laws.

The Octomom — who long swore she would never go on the dole — qualifies for the help because her total income is less than $8,000 per member of her household. TMZ reported she was given a state-issued credit card that is monitored to ensure it’s used only to purchase food.

Here is a video of what the Octomom's delivery may have been like.

Shocker: Octomom going back on welfare

The infamous "Octomom" story enters another phase. Nadya "Octomom" Suleman had a litter of eight children, in January of 2009, after fertility treatments. Added to the six children she already had, this increased her family size to 14 children. At the time, she was unmarried, unemployed and on public assistance. Suleman has lived on her notoriety since then, but the ride appears to be over. Now, the taxpayers will step in and support her irresponsibility.

FOX News reported:

After gaining notoriety for going full-term with eight children, to add to the six children she already had, the unmarried Suleman is now almost completely broke, and ready to go on welfare, RadarOnline.com reports.

"She's going on welfare and it's going to be very soon," an insider told the web site. "There's just no choice. She's running out of money and those kids need to eat."

The money Octomom made selling access to her life is almost all gone, and reality TV and book deals have not panned out, the web site says.
