I can understand that the regulations were meant to prevent sweatshop labor, and I disagree with the mother, but I really think that the state of California is going much too far.
Calif.: Video of octuplets broke child-labor lawsLOS ANGELES – A Web site's exclusive deal to document the lives of Nadya Suleman and her fragile octuplets came with a hidden risk: State regulators charged Tuesday that two of the newborns were endangered by long hours and inadequate supervision while under the relentless eye of a video camera. The four citations against celebrity hunter RadarOnline came as the latest in a series of questions about the care and treatment of the octuplets born to a single, jobless mother who had lived on government disability payments for years.
"These babies were put at risk and exposed to conditions that violated California labor laws," state Labor Commissioner Angela Bradstreet said about the ongoing investigation. "In this case, we are dealing with premature babies."
The violations deal with a single day, March 17, and two of the newborns, Noah and Isaiah Suleman, who were the first of the octuplets to be brought home from a hospital to the Los Angeles suburb of La Habra.

Didn't OctoMom break the law first, by scanning the fertility clinic into letting her have all those kids?
The laws are there to protect the kids....and those lights and cameras can't be that great for those premature babies. Babies are only allowed to be filmed something like 5 minutes and then an hour off...it's something very small like that.
then what's the deal with jon & kate gosselin? anyone know the law in their state?
i don't think anyone should be able to use their children as a meal ticket. :)
I think that whole situation is one big mess.
I think like Jodie. The whole thing is a mess and she's nuts.
thanks for sharing this
