House Mess Blocks Octuplet Homecoming

Disappointed inspectors come up with list of necessary work

Share

(Newser) – Octuplet mom Nadya Suleman has been given a list of work that must be done on her new four-bedroom home before her babies can leave the hospital, said disappointed inspectors from Kaiser Permanente, reports Radar. The news was a major setback for the hoped-for homecoming this week for two of the babies. Suleman didn't bother showing up for the inspection of the house, where carpeting and kitchen tiles are torn up, reveals a Radar video.

House stairs must be rebuilt, new banisters created, storage cabinets installed and safety features provided, including a guard on the fireplace, according to a spokeswoman. Inspectors were surprised Suleman skipped yesterday's inspection and have demanded she appear for another one today. The unemployed single mom said on a video blog yesterday that she—and not her parents—paid for the new house. A real estate agent said Suleman's father bought the house.

A 2,500 square foot house. 4 bedrooms, 14 children, 1 adult, and one huge immense property tax payment. Won't be long before this house is foreclosed on also Reply

If she's earning money, being paid to her dad so she can keep receiving disability and welfare for her kids, is this how we want welfare paid out? I think if she's making $250k/year or more, she ought to pay back her welfare for other kids who need it. Reply
