Octuplets mom Nadya Suleman (33), already jobless and receiving food stamps, has gone into hiding with her six older children because of death threats, her spokesman said on yesterday.
For the past few days, Suleman and her six older children have moved into "what we are referring to as an undisclosed location," said Michael Furtney, a public relations consultant working for the family.
The Web site RadarOnline.com reported the family was staying at a hotel.
Furtney said Suleman and the PR firm have been deluged with hostile telephone and email messages in recent days, some of them containing threats of violence and death. He acknowledged that hostile messages have so far outnumbered the well-wishes.
Suleman has come under mounting public ridicule for expanding her already large family via fertility treatments that led to the January 26 birth of six boys and two girls.
The criticism has mushroomed as it was reported that she was divorced, living with her parents, unemployed for several years, receiving disability checks for three of her children one of whom is autistic.
