Watchdogs decry ‘danger’ to Suleman octuplets. (Remember Octomom?)
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32183581/ns/today-parenting_and_family/

Claiming that a litter of puppies would get more legal protection, a child-actor advocate said that Nadya Suleman’s octuplets are being exposed to potential dangers by her decision to allow a reality show to chronicle the next three years of their lives.

“It’s dangerous. This is not safe,” Paul Petersen, a former child actor himself, told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira Tuesday from California. “We’ve got to stop this.”

Petersen, who founded the advocacy group A Minor Consideration, had filed a legal petition to have an advocate appointed to look after the financial interests of Suleman’s octuplets and six other children. On Monday, a judge in Orange County, Calif., granted the request and appointed an advocate, who is to file a report by Aug. 31.

The legal action was prompted by Suleman’s decision to sign a deal with the European reality-show production company Eyeworks. Among the shows produced by the company are “The Biggest Loser” and “Breaking Bonaduce.”

2. Everything I've heard on this woman convinces me she should not have kids
the only problem is if you take them away she's just going to spawn more.

3. actually the best thing is to put her on TV and watch her make a mess
of her life and let us see how quickly the state of California steps in.

Sometimes the thing you wish for ends up being a curse.
