How mentally ill do you have to be to have 9 children when you cannot afford basic cost of living?

That seems incredibly selfish and should be criminal.

Birth control is free.

There is no excuse for this insanity, and the gov't cannot afford to be daddy to all these unparented children.

Based on what CPS did by returning the 9 children to this jewel, is Grandma any better. Remember something about an apple and a tree.

I'm guessing the unapproved comments had to do with her race.

It doesn't matter what race. This is very sad. Hopefully grandma can care for all those other kids.

Is birth control truly free? Assuming she doesn’t have health insurance, would she have to qualify for Medicaid. There are some right wingers who want to outlaw birth control. That would clearly be a mistake. Planned parenthood does more than perform abortions. They actually give out contraceptives, birth control and perform tubal ligations. Not advocating for abortions one way or the other. Just saying once planned parenthood is gone, people will have fewer options. Not everyone will practice self restraint. Also, welfare should max out at 2 kids for 2 years. If you can’t find a job in two years, tough luck. After that treat it like unemployment. You have to put into the system to get anything out.

9 children, I have no words.

So, where are the daddies? It's all but certain there's more than one.

This won't stop until the government stops rewarding single mothers for having more babies.

But, but, "those poor children!"

Call me cold- hearted, but those children are not the taxpayer's responsibility. There would be less poverty and crime if people were forced to take responsibility for their own children.

What is genuinely sad about these situations is there are SOOOOOOOOO many couples who cannot have children who would love to adopt these babies.

EVEN IF you keep getting pregnant, completely ignoring all of the preventive measures at your disposal......for god's sake do some good with the situation and help out one of these couples. It is irresponsible to bring a child up in squalor when there are options available to prevent that from occurring.

11:27 I am conservative and I fully agree. Planned Parenthood is not the boogie man that so many pearl clutching Baptists want it to be.

Not saying I approve of taxpayer-funded abortions, but they do provide valuable services.
That said, these people (of all races) wont take advantage of free birth control if you hand deliver it daily.

These folks don't contribute anything of value to this country and just don't care enough to be bothered with any modicum of responsibility.
I don't want impoverished kids to suffer but we have got to stop rewarding irresponsible parents.

And in a society that apologizes for assuming gender/pronouns...I don't ever actually expect to see real reform. This train is too far down the track to ever reverse course.

@12:23
You aren’t a real conservative. Turn in your card, RINO!

"There is no excuse for this insanity, and the gov't cannot afford to be daddy to all these unparented children".

Democrats seem to think so. Just look at America's southern border. Whoop!

how did she have time to have sexual intercourse when she had 9 children to watch?

Taxpayers are paying for this already and will continue to pay. more to be paid if abortions are banned and we get rid of corruption. Corrupt irresponsible parents and definitely corrupt government organizations, DHS (MDCPS, aka as CPS) just another corrupt govt organization that masks the corruption through the confidentiality involving minors. Blatant corruption with very little that families can do to fight back. Oh unless you’re already in the govt then you can get funding for being a foster relative, even if you had the financial means to take care of your family without tapping into those taxpayer/federal dollars with the help of MDCPS. Being well connected and an elected official opens the door to federal funding (Examples: for chancery/circuit court clerks, other government officials). I had an attorney tell me that it was well known how the system could be used by well connected to obtain child custody involving their son/daughter’s children rather than paying legal fees during a divorce. Would love to see the statistics on how many elected/government officials have acted as foster relatives? Bet this wasn’t the case for the family with 9 children which is likely the reason they were returned to the Mother so quickly. DHS MDCPS doesn’t actually want to use those fed $$ for the poor people that need it. Current case involving DHS / Davis and News trickle down to all DHS divisions in MS. Pheel provided the framework for the practice.

She might be a crummy mother with too many kids, but the reports say the baby died from asphyxia possibly caused by co-sleeping. Co-sleeping isn't recommended by most authorities, but is sleeping in the same bed as your infant now felony child neglect? Or is it just a felony when poor women with nine kids do it?

11:27 Obviously you are a liberal with your 'right winger" comment. I have never heard anyone from the conservative side say they wanted to do away with birth control But, as we all know you liberals like to make up your own facts. Another one of your comments " Not everyone will practice restraint." What I interpret from that way of thinking is it's not the guns fault its the individuals fault. You also say that welfare should max out after two years and two kids. Where is your compassion? I thought only Republicans wanted to starve children and push grandma over a cliff in her wheelchair. My question to you is what about the two year old child after you take away his/her means for survival? It's not the child's fault its the baby mama and baby daddy's fault. The state of Mississippi should take these children and put them into orphanages. Orphanages are not a bad thing. It's not like DHS isn't pissing enough money away to fund them. You then take the parents and require them to get a job and withhold child support like DHS does now but make both parents pay. If the parent refuses to work then put them in striped uniforms and put them on the sides of the highways picking up trash. For those of you that say orphanages are a bad thing I would say this poor dead child would have been much better off had it been placed in one. The mother was charged with child neglect and the child was taken away but given back within a two week period. I know you will think my idea for orphanages is a bad one since I am a Republican. Do you really care about dead children or do you just like to have something you can use to bash us right wingers?

@5:02
If it were up to Republicans, orphans would be in “Christian” workhouses “earning” their keep through child labor. Little girls would be married off by age 13 and never taught to read or write. History has recorded exactly how you lot would handle the issue.

5:53, in California, a bill to set the minimum marriage age at 18 — the state's age of consent — failed in 2017 after objections from lawmakers and liberal groups such as the state's American Civil Liberties Union. The state currently has no minimum marriage age and collects little to no data on child marriages.

Wasn't aware that solid Blue California was Republican.

BTW, what does your drivel have to do with reality?

If it was co-sleeping why arrest the mother that’s cruel and unnecessary! Arrest the people that are stealing and killing.

At times returning children to the birth mothers is much worse than leaving them in Baptist Village, Grands, or even foster care. How could she prove ability to provide care? another broken agency is my guess.

The "well off" white woman that got her cell phone out of her nice SUV but left her kid in it all day didn't get arrested. It was "just a tragic accident".

As bad as this situation is, I applaud her for doing her part in combating low birthrates.

8:17am is so correct. White people reproduce like panda bears, so this chick with 9 kids should be your hero, your poster child.
