The octuplet mom's missing kid -- how to handle 911

 Octuplet mom

Today's tip sheet comes via momlogic, which had a good post on the heat that the octuplet mom, Nadya Suleman, is getting about a 911 call she made when she thought her son was missing a while back. (Apparently she was so hysterical on the phone that it was hard for the dispatcher to help her. But the good news is that the boy was found safe with a nanny.)

Momlogic got tips from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children about how you should (try) to act if you truly think your child is missing. Among the tips: Give the dispatcher your child's height, weight, and what he was wearing. Take time to listen to the dispatcher's questions, and answer them carefully so you can be understood.

i think that it is a crazy thing to have so many kids and to put her parent in all of this mess but i guess if she rely loves kids and her own its worth

Why would someone want to have all that stress :)
