Where’s the dad?

Re “Octuplets’ care could end up costing taxpayers millions,” Feb. 11

We have been reading about Nadya Suleman, mother of the octuplets, now having 14 children to raise. We read about the welfare payments that Suleman has been receiving even before the octuplets were born, about Kaiser Permanente billing Medi-Cal for the delivery and care of the mother and babies, and about the speculation of who will financially support the children.

How about the father of the children? Doesn’t a father have responsibility for the financial support of his children?
