Police: Octomom probed times before octuplet birth

BEIJING, March 4 (Xinhuanet) -- Police officer said
thatoctomom Nadya Suleman had been probed several times in the year before
she gave birth to the octuplet, according to media reports Wednesday.


Both police and the Los Angeles County Department of
Child and Family Services had received complaints in the last 14 months about
lost, trapped or poorly cared for children about the single mother Nadya
Suleman.

Suleman, 33, unemployed and living with her parents,
has received negative publicity for undergoing in vitrofertilization when
she already had six other children aged 2 to 7, and for using Food Stamps and
other government programs to support her children.

But the mother had insisted she would be able to
support her 14 kids without government assistance.

She had drawn worldwide attention since the birth of
the octuplet on Jan. 26, and previous reports said that she had received hate
messages and death threats on her new website, which she is using to solicit
support for her 14 children.
