[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In terms of the "6 kids by 4+ fathers" issue, has anyone considered that the fact that this woman likely has mental health issues, severe addiction issues, or may have a very low IQ and not have the mental ability to make what we would consider rational decisions?

I've worked with women like this as an RN in a pregnancy/addiction clinic in Baltimore.  I'm seen countless women who have 5-15 kids by different men and have been severely addicted to heroin their entire lives.  Many pregnancies the result of prostitution, rape, etc (often while the woman is high or intoxicated).

I don't condone what this woman did but women who have these high numbers of unsupported kids are generally dealing with some incredibly tough situations (often across multiple generations).    [/quote]

No, no one has considered that, despite some of us trying to get them to. They're having too much judging from afar and feeling superior to hear anything other than this woman is a monster and don't care one bit that she is obviously troubled.[/quote]
