Octuplets mom story takes surreal turns

BEIJING, Feb. 25 (Chinese medianet) -- Nadya Suleman's octuplets story that has drawn worldwide attention has experienced another turn of event with mother Suleman fearing that Kaiser Permanente's Bellflower Medical Center in California may not release her octuplets to her until she proves she can care for them.



Suleman told talk show host "Dr. Phil" McGraw today she feared the Medical Center would not let her take the eight babies with her. The octuplets were born on Jan. 26, 2008.

McGraw said Suleman called him this afternoon, distressed after talking with Kaiser officials.

"What she is telling me is that unless and until she has a better living arrangement, that they are not likely to release the children to her," McGraw told The Times.

Ever since the babies were born, the octuplet story has taken surreal turns. This also included huge media attention with paparazzi camping out in front of octuplet mom Nadya Suleman's Whittier home ever since she came back a few weeks ago.

The home belongs to her mother and is slated for foreclosure. Suleman has said she plans to move to a larger home that can accommodate all 14 of her children.

On Monday, a neighbor of Suleman walked out of his home with a shotgun and began yelling unspecified threats at media persons

who have been keenly following the case since, police said.

The police registered a crime report and questioned the man, who was not identified because of the ongoing investigation. However, the man said "he was tired of the attention."
