Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted March 20, 2009 Dr. Phil seems to have taken a personal interest in her. Maybe he will counsel her kids along the way. They are certainly going to need all the help they can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

heartfire 4 Posted March 20, 2009 I was thinking Munchausen's as well only b/c I keep replaying that 911 tape in my head. It was supposed to be about the fact that her kid was missing but she turned it into being all about HER with her screaming threats of killing herself! I used to be a dispatcher for our local ambulance dept. and I was an explorer w/the sheriff's dept. We had people scared and worried and a little out of control but I never had anyone like that on the phone! Sure I had to calm people down a lot in order to get them to tell me what was happening and where so I could start EMS but her call was crazy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted March 20, 2009 Her call was off the wall. I don't know if it is because of my prejudice against her for her other actions, but she didn't really sound worried about the child at all. That call really did seem all about her (attention grabbing). I don't know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HeatherO 7 Posted March 23, 2009 Dr. Phil is as media hungry as Suleyman. I would have been much more surprised if he didn't take a personal interest in this case. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrie_C 9 Posted March 23, 2009 Yes, he is media hungry. I'm still pissed at him for trying to cash in on Britney Spears when she had her break down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted March 23, 2009 Ok, I can't access video content from work but there is a link on cnn.com for a video that says octotwat admitted that welfare was her plan. Someone please watch it and tell me what she said. Please?!?!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiz 1 Posted March 23, 2009 Here's a recap: If she hadn't had these "little" opportunities to make some money she would have been "forced" to apply for "governmental" assistance" at least until she was finished with school...and then she added, "I don't know how many hours a week I would have to work as a counselor to make ends meet" She admits that she was in denial about the paparazzi frenzy and pandemonium that has accompanied the babies coming home. She expected attention, but not the almost riot conditions that occurred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted March 23, 2009 How could she NOT know that she couldn't afford 14 children? What kind of lala land was this woman living? Has she been tested for drugs because this sure seems like she was in some type of drug induced delusions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
