Octamom selling crack
We have heard Nadya Suleman in the news over and over again about her financial troubles. She can finally say foreclosure is a word of the past. Since there was no bidders, the bank took ownership and can now being the eviction proceedings.
She filed bankruptcy in April. The papers for the bankruptcy were tossed when she failed to complete the required paperwork. Is this the last we hear of the famous Octomom now that the bank has taken the home back?

Recently, we know Octomom posed nude for rent.

Though my kids eat a plentiful variety of both, I ingest so many raw plants, it became more pragmatic to blend.

Did it! The mom snapped a sweaty selfie with two of her daughters after a workout in April. Kids, and us parents, are adaptive, as challenges promote growth and resilience. As part of their at-home education, Suleman has been stressing the importance of physical fitness. In April, she posted videos of herself running outside with her kids and having them do jumping jacks. Single mom: Suleman is raising all 14 children on her own, including her year-old son Aidan, who is severely autistic.

So sweet: Suleman also posted a picture of the 'heartfelt' poem her daughter Nariyah wrote her in honor of Mother's Day. As a single parent, she is raising all 14 children on her own, including her year-old son Aidan, who is severely autistic. Suleman began IVF treatments in when she was 21 years old, and she welcomed her first child, Elijah, in She gave birth to her first daughter, Amerah, a year later.
She continued IVF treatments, which resulted in three further pregnancies, including fraternal twins Calyssa and Caleb. Since her release, Amy has been supporting women victims of domestic abuse on a voluntary basis. Her own story highlights how the sexual violence perpetrated against her shaped her life and led to her spiral into addiction and crime. Growing up in a big family in South London, she was raped at 13 — coincidentally the same age as one of the children who was sexually assaulted by J; a crime that led to her conviction — and began drinking and smoking crack.
Sexual predators would target me, especially when I was in and out of care. At 15, Amy was sent to the youth offender wing of a prison, which was the start of a string of drug-related crimes and prison sentences.
Although she hated prison, Amy tells me that away from male sexual predators, and among other women who had been through similar experiences, she felt safe for the first time in her life. Her fears were, sadly, not misplaced: a year or so into her sentence she was sexually assaulted by J. It is pertinent, too, that she was working at the time in the prison gym — a vital provision because it allowed prisoners to 'let off steam, talk to others and get off the wing for a bit', generally improving their mental health.
But these benefits were nullified when J was given the job of gym cleaner. The sexual assault took place in the toilets of the gym, which were left unguarded and without CCTV.
Prison is an awful place to be under any circumstances, and this just made it times worse. It seems that J — wielding the threat that any criticism of her behaviour would be considered 'transphobic' — was permitted concessions that would not be granted to other women prisoners. Although rules state that most cosmetics purchased from outside the prison are banned, J was allowed to have toiletries brought in, including perfume in glass bottles, heated rollers, make-up and a razor to shave her face.
She believes that J had planned the assault and knew that it was likely she would be in the gym when J was cleaning. After it happened, I went back to my room and couldn't stop shaking. It brought back feelings of trauma about all the previous times when I've been attacked by men. I went to the senior officer and told her what had happened and asked why a child sex offender with a penis was allowed to clean the women's toilets in the gym?
Amy adds: 'Sex offenders are master manipulators, and if they sniff vulnerability they target it. At the same time, they are going on about their human rights and scaring the prison officers into looking the other way. After J assaulted me, I'd see her around the prison on a regular basis. She would leer at me and smirk.
Amy and a number of other women heard that J had been sent to the segregation unit as punishment for not taking the medication that prevented her penis from getting erect, 'which begs the question: 'Why was she still allowed around us?
Appalled by the inadequate response from prison officers to the assault, and frightened of what would happen next, she took legal action against the prison service and applied to move jails. The new unit was originally intended for up to 15 female prisoners who were being released on temporary licence, but it was never used for this purpose.
By awful coincidence, it was recommissioned for high-risk transwomen prisoners. Initially three such transwomen were housed there, but since then all have successfully challenged their allocation to this wing as 'transphobic'. All are now back in the general prison population. On arriving at Downview, Amy was horrified to discover J was also in the same prison: 'The reception officer told me and I felt like I had been punched in the stomach.
They moved me for my own protection, and then I ended up back in the same prison as this person who had sexually assaulted me. At Downview she discovered she was far from alone in being terrified of J. The prison officers protected her more than they did us.
They were terrified of being accused of transphobia. So as J continues her sentence in the general prison population, Amy's fears are for the women still terrorised by her. I meet her on the morning the judgment is made public and as the news comes through she looks distraught. Who will protect them now? ThE judgment recognises that housing transwomen with convictions for sexual offences creates a real risk, but considers the prison service has put measures in place to manage that risk.
But the evidence seems to belie this. Indeed, Amy's case against the prison services was bolstered by evidence from another prisoner at HMP Bronzefield who also complained of assault by J. The woman, who provided a statement for the legal case, reported two assaults — one in the line for dinner and one in her room.
J pressed her genitals against the woman's buttocks. Yet the prison did not report the assaults by J on either woman to the police. They protected themselves and didn't speak out as they were worried that they would get into trouble because of the trans policy in prison; a policy which doesn't consider the impact on women prisoners,' says Amy.
She adds: 'I have nothing against transgender people. It is the sex offenders that I have a problem with. This kind of thing is happening to women all the time in prisons.
I owe it to them to continue to raise this issue and to get the public up in arms about it. Even though we are prisoners and have committed crimes, we are all human beings. Meanwhile, Ian Whiteside, prison director at HMP Bronzefield, offers: 'As this case is an ongoing legal matter, we are unable to comment further except to say that the safety and welfare of all those living and working within our prisons is of paramount importance to us.
