yet another drain on our society culturally and economically. there seems to be a growing trend that it is ok to be a burden on our social infastructure
ask yourself this
1. can she realistically raise these children being the weight she is?
2. what if her mother is taken ill who will look after them then?
3. what happens if this goes horribly wrong?
4. what has this woman done to help herself?
i'm by no means small minded but something tells me that this is wrong and it is my right to know what is done with my money seeing as i fight wars to earn it so to that end i and every other taxpayer have THE RIGHT to judge this woman
but on the other hand i congratulate her on the birth of 3 healthy babies they are a gift, i only hope you are not a liar and make good on your promise to them
I just want to say “Congratulations” she has been totally blessed by these babies and as usual I see nothing but jealously and back stabbing from others because of her size (and let’s face it that is all it is, nothing but jealously!) Well done to the proud mummy and her family and I wish you all the luck in the world with your new bundles of joy! God Bless x
I'm sorry this may seem harsh but I am disgusted that £200,000 be spent by the NHS on this one birth, when there are healthy people who are denyed IVF treatment.
I know her mother has said that she is a tax payer but how much????
We pay tax at 40% and have had to pay for all our IVF treatment.
I think it is a sad state of affairs that again now she will continue to be a burden to us tax payers.
That £200,000 could have paid for a lot of IVF treatments or given cancer suffers a better quality of life.
You think your angry now - just give it a few years. Plans are afoot to give single, jobless mothers access to day-care - thats right, day-care. I'll put money on it happening. Our good-for-nothing, criminal spawning single mothers will now be able to drop the little meal tickets off at the communist kiddy collective and take a break.
i am so proud of my big sister i know that she can do this on her own beacues my mum did it on her own and we turn at ok. so stop going on about how fat she is.she is going to be a amazing mum and i can not wait to see sister proved you all wrong
Congrats Leanne, you have done well not every fat mummy can have triplets ilike you have done, may God bless you and help you take good care of them stay blessed.It has already happen and nothing can be done about it, but please! try and do a lot exercise to reduce your weight.
I will like to have a discussion with Leanne later.
bye!
leanne is the most loving and caring person i no!!,those babies will be so well cared for and loved by leanne and all of her family!! i think that is all that matters in life!! (well done leanne!!) xxx
i would like all u small minded people 2 get off my daughters case i am also a taxpayer i have been back at work 4 7yrs i was on imcome support myself untill leanne left school unlike now i was unable 2 work and i have also three kids i have brought myself so what does that say about me there are people out there who are on income suport who dont want 2 work so what do u have 2 say about them unlike them leanne does want 2 work but when she has applied for jobs she has not heard back from them and u dont see the pain she goes throught when she has not herd from an employers so if she is on income suport then its not her fault and as 4 the father its alrigth saying he should suport her then yes but he 2 is not working as his now lives in london with his uncle and is not english so take that as u find it all i can say now is that i am proud of leanne and babies they r my pride and joy
I just have to say what gives people the right to say that she should have her kids taken off of her because she will be a bad parent?
Has she abused her children? Has she denied them love? Has she beaten them? Mistreated them? Has she in fact done one single thing to deserve such ridiculously misguided comments??
In my opinion? Not in the slightest!! What about all the kids out there with "average sized" parents that are abused and mistreated daily and have a pretty low quality of homelife and that are LEFT at home with these people??
People really need to think about the important issues before condemning the poor woman. Yes, it's obvious she is overweight. So what? She would have been given exactly the same treatment if she had been an alcoholic, drug user, etc.
And yes, it is entirely possible for someone to do everything they can exercise-wise and eat everything they are supposed to and none of what they're not and STILL put on weight due to medical problems. And unless you have a medical qualification you cannot say otherwise. Thats called narrowmindedness.
I sincerely hope that none of the people that posted negative comments about this woman have someone in their lives in a similar situation.
One last thing, this woman worked up until she was no longer able to, which meant for quite some time, she was also a taxpayer. Doesn't that give her the right to use the resources she contributed to? Say a person works for 30 odd years regularly paying their taxes but then end up claiming benefits through whatever circumstances that happen. Does that person then forfeit the right to NHS treatment? Somehow I think not.
Sometimes the attitudes of the people in this country make me ashamed to be one of you.
I used to live in a country where she would have died along with all her babies.
As a human being and a taxpayer, I am glad the system in this country allows her to live. I hope some day if I or my kids/loved ones are down and out for any reason I/they will be supported too.
Congratulations to Leanne. Every baby should be appreciated, that said: I do think that Leanne should be given the hospital bill. I imagine that she will be paid for all the interviews she is doing. At least half of that money should be paid back to the NHS. It is obscene that one person can cost an already struggling NHS that much money. There are much more worthy causes for £200,000 to be spent on.
As for the boyfriend, I think he was perfectly reasonable in suggesting Leanne sort herself out once the babies were born. I just hope she lets him be involved in their lives.
I find this a really hard story to read - on the one hand it's great that mum and babies are OK and mum intends to lose weight etc etc, on the other hand, it makes me angry that people like this don't appear to give a second thought to what's involved in having one baby, let alone 3. I would love to start a family but although my partner and I work full time, we know that we cannot afford it. Neither of us would have the luxury of the tax payers money to fall back on. Bearing in mind that I am one of the tax payers paying for mothers like this and cannot afford children myself I find it quite an injustice.
I say well done! Every woman has the right to be a mother to matter what size, shape, color or what ever they are. A healthy "thin" person would have a baby and end up dead the next day and thats the way life is. You have to remember that she has an under active thyroid so that in its self is a medical condition which makes her gain weight. Its not all her fault. I hope she and her babies do very well. Good luck!!
you go leanne your triplets are beautiful. congratulations. all you people that are getting a buzz out of slagging her off have you not got anything better to do with your time. i have known leanne for only a couple of weeks as she has assured everyone that she wants to loose weight now that the gorgeous bundles of joy have arrived. YOU GO GIRL SHOW THEM ALL WHAT BIG GIRLS ARE REALLY MADE OF
come on people, give the girl a break.shes just like any other person and i dont see the need for the discrimination. children are wonderful gifts from God and no amount of money spent is too big to ensure the safe delivery of these beautiful creatures. So happy for you Leanne.
I think that it is disgusting that people who are dying of cancer cannot get vital drugs they need to stay alive but £200K get faulked out for 1 person to have a baby.
She probably will be a good mum unless she has a heart attack or stroke. then where will the children end up?
The father had the right idea about losing weight and If she is going to claim income support he will have to pay Child support to fund that anyway.
Perhaps now the NHS will pay for her to have a gastric band fitted and then to have the excess skin removed after she loses the weight.
Wow! people can be so cruel, some things dont have to be said, if u watch the video u'll see Leanne is just as shocked, but the point is the babies are already here, They survived!
Wow, how cruel can people be? give the girl a break, Im sure she realises already, shes just as shocked as anyone, the point is the babies are already here, they survived! and Leanne is ok too isnt that what really matters?
leanne is a lovly girl. she has only got the triplets & no other kids
so people need to get there facts straight before commenting on her. She Will Be A lovly mom & bring the kids up herself. the father is a looser. she is determined to loose some weight so give her a brake
yet again another single mum getting everything paid for her. the father should be made to pay for her and her children instead of hard working people who pay lots of tax. its not the childrens fault and i hope they are looked after. they should sterilise her now.
Congratulations Leanne, you have three beautiful babies, well done.
And the only "shame" is on all you nasty,narrow minded people. How dare you be so rude and offensive to a new mother. Her job is difficult enough without moronic comments like yours. If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all!
all i can say is well done to her and hope she don.t listen to small minded people she has every right to be a mum on or off benifits i wish her and her babies well x
If Leanne really wants to be a good mother to her children she really needs to get a handle on her weight problem asap.otherwise there is a very good chance that she will not live to see them grow up.Once they get on their feet she will need all her enegy to be able to run around after them and she will not be able to do that at her present size,will she? Not only that,just think of all the teasing and bullying the poor little kids would have to put up with when they go to school if their mother remains at her present size.
i think that some of the comments on here are totally out of order she is a young lady that has never had children before yes she is over weight but some people on here think they have the right to call her names and her children names so i say who do u think u are and what gives you the right to judge this lady, as for the people going on about the taxpayers money id rather support this young lady and her family that give it to the peole that dont want to work and sit around doing nothing at all getting drunk etc so id say the people that have been harsh i think u should think about what u have said as this lady deserves all the support she can get includung her weight loss!!!!! go leanne u can do this show all them selfish people just what a strong person u are and prove every1 on here WRONG, take care and love and cherish every moment with ur beautiful children
i just wont to say Congratulations to leanne and her lovely babies, there is a couple of negative comments regarding the situation which leanne is in. my opinion leanne should loose weight but not for anyone else but for her children sakes and her own cos if she carries on eating like that she will die leaving all 3 chilrden mother less.
ok NHS should not pay all treatment
but there do every day pay bills which people have done to they own bodies and health (people who drink heavily )smokers, drug users,
also if children are taken in to care thats just going to be more money from goverment (which leanne could probly be a good mother been over weight doesnt mean shes a bad parent )
all the best for the future leanne
im sorry but one of these comments is out of order!
calling the baby names . youu discust mee !
youu sound sad andy beange sayin: she should have named the babies......... kentucky[kfc] donald [mcdonalds] and king [burgerking].. who do youu think youu are ? itz the mother that got like this not the babies. and yes itz her 1st pregnancy so she has 3 children. yes leanne is over wait but she will make a alright mother, not saying she will be the best but ok . i agree its wrong about the nhs i mean £200.000 that a hudge amount of money for them too have lost just on 1 person . but some of the comments are harsh !!
I think this women is very selfish. She's put her own, and her babies life in danger.
So why did she feel insulted by this? She must know that's she's got to do something about her weight. And not only that but she has decided that her kids are not going to have a father in their lives because she didn't have one.
Well i'd like to hear how the father feels about this. Maybe he's a loser so in that case they are better of without him but the fact he suggested she should lose weight after the pregnancy shows he obviously has more common sense than her.
Then there's the issue of her weight. So she's morbidly obese, she got pregnant naturally. Good for her. But why the hell should she be entitled to treatment on the NHS when's she done NOTHING to try and lose weight.
People get their operations cancelled if they smoke or are even a tiny bit overweight, this girl on the other hand get's £200,000 worth of treatment for free.
People are happy that their money is going towards a fat, lazy women who can't be bothered to lose weight. I'm sorry but you don't get that huge without being lazy.
It's not fine at all. People aren't born this huge. Her fatness could have been prevented. And whether she has got an underactive thyroid or not, eating, pizza, chicken and chips is not going help.
If she ate fruit and veg and got the tablets to control and maybe got of her backside and exercised then she may not be a size 8 but she wouldn't be morbidly obese like she is now!
I think it's an absolute disgrace that this women is being monny coddled because she's fat! It is her fault she's as big as she is and she's the only one that has made herself this big.
I just sincerly hope that she does something about it. Even if she opts for a gastric band on the NHS (which us taxpayers will have to pay for) at least she will be doing somthing about it and giving her babies the mother they deserve.
And those who say we shouldnt judge you're wrong. We have every right to judge because she's put her story out there for us to judge!
Martin what a horrible little man you sound with your idiotic porkypig comments. I congratulated her quite sincerely because I see no reason to not congratulate her on the birth of her babies. She worked up until she couldn't so isn't your typical dole scrounger it was the fathers choice to not stay with her yet where are the comments slagging him off for not supporting them financially? She stopped drinking and smoking to give her babies a better chance and she intends to work on losing weight all positive things as far as I can see. Who knows if/when she will go to work it doesn't say in the article so why just assume she won't? Her weight does not determine whether or not she is a good parent the fact that she has already taken positive steps to become healthier bodes well for her abilities as a parent.
And where are people getting FOUR kids from there is no mention in the article of a fourth child.
some of the comments on here are a bit harsh the naming of the babbies is particularly out of order.... these are innocent kids.....and its through people like that making rude and innappropriate comments that bullying starts in 5 years time when those little cherubs start the school and get bullied or whatever its down to absent minded people like urself teaching kids the wrong way in life that make that all come about so shame on you!!!
Leanne concieved naturally and although over weight doesnt mean she should have her babbies taken away from her as long as she loves them and looks after them like any other loving mummy whats the problem? with 3 little `uns to look after she will find it hard to go to work anyway so whats this about scrounging theres slim people out there with no kids that dont work and alot more scrounging i could talk about but i wont ramble on its just such a shame that all u perfect people put there have to judge so harshly....
i dont think shes lazy ben,and living near her does not give you the right to slate her, the babies are here and what makes you think she will be a bad mum, saying nasty things about her because shes fat makes you a horrible person and those of you who do should take a hard look at your lives. the fact is this lady defied the Doctors and everything rubbish we are feed about FAT/OBESITY/ MOBIDITY/ GOD KNOWS WHAT and had 3 healthy babies and as a tax payer myself am happy to pay for her safe delivery and after care and if i know where she lives will make a donation for the upkeep of these kids
I cannot believe some of the nasty small minded comments about this woman. She conceived naturally and was entitled to nhs care during her pregnancy and the birth, she worked up until she couldn't so isn't your typical dole scrounger, the father of the babies made his choice to not support her so she is doing it alone with the help of her mum. Whats the problem with that there are loads of single parents out there and they don't always choose to be single parents.
She gave up smoking and drinking during her pregnancy to give her babies a better chance and now she is set on losing weight so how on Earth does anything in the story make her a bad mum? As someone else said if she had been anorexic everybody would be saying what an achievement it was that she got pregnant naturally they wouldn't be going on about her need to claim income support until the babies are older. Leanne's situation is no different, given her obesity it was a minor miracle she conceived naturally, and where in the article does it say she has no intention of ever going to work? It doesn't people just see her size and assume she won't because they are vindictive narrow minded bigots.
Congratulations Leanne on your three beautiful babies, ignore the narrow minded people and just do the best you can for the babies and yourself.
to all you small minded people out there i new leanne when we went cadets together she was always up for the activitise so stop your nasty coments just cos she is a big girl does not give any of us the right to judge if she should have then children taken off her. as i remember leanne she was a fun loving girl who has had it hard from people picking on her and he weight people who are horrible about peoples weight are very small minded leave people alone we are all individuals and thats how we like. imagine some coming into your home telling you that your a terrible parent and that they are taking your kids away just cos you have a weight problem. i just want to sat congrats to leanne and good luck with her life with her children x
Leannes a disgrace ! I have to Live near her ! She is the laziest person in the world She can barely walk and took her atleast 15 minuets to walk down a 2 minuet road and she was out of breathe ! She will be a useless mum and shes doing it for the money !
here we go again,yet another fat,lazy,scrounging,social security sucking,never paid tax in her life,will never pay her way,will never get a job ,useless breeding machine! harsh,i think not annoyed ,too true. thats my hard earned money shes making full use of,when is somone going to put a stop to this blatant doling out of taxpayers money to the beggars of this country,next thing we will be paying for is a disability cart for her to take them to school.they can all get on it with her and ride everywhere and then we can look forward to paying for another three fat useless scroungers in the future sucking the social security and or disability dry .yours seethingly minority group of the country THE INCOME TAX PAYERS
if Leanne had been anorexic and very thin peqple would be saying how amazing that she had managed to conceive and give birth and congratulating her and yet her health and energy levels would be much the same. Obesity is a condition just the same and yet we pity very thin and condem the fat. Yes she should give it her best shot to lose weight but will need lots of help and support. well done Leanne enjoy your babies
i feel its a disgrace to the system my partner works dam hard 2 supports me and our 3 children and we get peanlised cause he works, im a smoker and pay taxes on cigaretts but food NO TAXES ARE PAID and she gets 200,000 health care free and they tell smokers give up smoking before any care is received disgrace. and to top it off my hard working partner and many others out there are goin work for her to sit on her bum and eat and claim benefits
Congratulations Leanne and to your beautiful triplets. Thank goodness you have your Mum on hand to help. I have baby twins and were born earlier and smaller than yours - good on you for not terminating. However, do try to loose some weight for your own health and to eneable you to enjoy your babies more. Good luck.
So the taxpayer forked out £200,000 to ensure 4 people are alive and well, and will again be financially supporting this family on meagre amounts, which will be tricky with the rising cost of living.
As a tax payer, I'd rather support this UK family than the BILLIONS spent on war, killing our own soliders and destroying other families.
Good luck to Leanne and her brood, and top marks for her supportive mum.
Good on you Leanne
It was up to you to have your babies however large you were, you are a brave lady. It will now give you the incentive to lose weight to make sure your babies have their mum around to love and cherish, but if you don't lose weight so what, just hope that you are healthy and well, congrats.xxx
THIS PERSON IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, SHE SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY THIS HERSELF, OR KEEP HER CLOTHES ON 4 CHILDREN WITH A WOMAN THIS SIZE HOW CAN SHE BE A FIT MOTHER, THEY WILL ALL GROW UP THE SAME AS HER AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE EVERY TIME...
shame on the people on here that are pleased for her! do they really think in her state she will be able to care for the babies without any help! i would say i feel sorry for the mum/grandmother but then she no doubt had a part to play in her daughters weight gain. So her babies won't have a father like she didn't, and what a role model she is going to be. Thyroid! well my mum has an underactive thyroid, there is medication for this, she clearly self medicates with food!!!
well done leanne the babies are gorgous and all those people slagging you off dont take any notice you did really well and proved them all wrong x
yet another drain on our society culturally and economically. there seems to be a growing trend that it is ok to be a burden on our social infastructure

i just wont to say Congratulations to leanne and her lovely babies, there is a couple of negative comments regarding the situation which leanne is in. my opinion leanne should loose weight but not for anyone else but for her children sakes and her own cos if she carries on eating like that she will die leaving all 3 chilrden mother less.
ok NHS should not pay all treatment
but there do every day pay bills which people have done to they own bodies and health (people who drink heavily )smokers, drug users,
also if children are taken in to care thats just going to be more money from goverment (which leanne could probly be a good mother been over weight doesnt mean shes a bad parent )
all the best for the future leanne
underactive tyroid my ass, you are what you eat
im sorry but one of these comments is out of order!
calling the baby names . youu discust mee !
youu sound sad andy beange sayin: she should have named the babies......... kentucky[kfc] donald [mcdonalds] and king [burgerking].. who do youu think youu are ? itz the mother that got like this not the babies. and yes itz her 1st pregnancy so she has 3 children. yes leanne is over wait but she will make a alright mother, not saying she will be the best but ok . i agree its wrong about the nhs i mean £200.000 that a hudge amount of money for them too have lost just on 1 person . but some of the comments are harsh !!
I think this women is very selfish. She's put her own, and her babies life in danger.
So why did she feel insulted by this? She must know that's she's got to do something about her weight. And not only that but she has decided that her kids are not going to have a father in their lives because she didn't have one.
Well i'd like to hear how the father feels about this. Maybe he's a loser so in that case they are better of without him but the fact he suggested she should lose weight after the pregnancy shows he obviously has more common sense than her.
Then there's the issue of her weight. So she's morbidly obese, she got pregnant naturally. Good for her. But why the hell should she be entitled to treatment on the NHS when's she done NOTHING to try and lose weight.
People get their operations cancelled if they smoke or are even a tiny bit overweight, this girl on the other hand get's £200,000 worth of treatment for free.
People are happy that their money is going towards a fat, lazy women who can't be bothered to lose weight. I'm sorry but you don't get that huge without being lazy.
It's not fine at all. People aren't born this huge. Her fatness could have been prevented. And whether she has got an underactive thyroid or not, eating, pizza, chicken and chips is not going help.
If she ate fruit and veg and got the tablets to control and maybe got of her backside and exercised then she may not be a size 8 but she wouldn't be morbidly obese like she is now!
I think it's an absolute disgrace that this women is being monny coddled because she's fat! It is her fault she's as big as she is and she's the only one that has made herself this big.
I just sincerly hope that she does something about it. Even if she opts for a gastric band on the NHS (which us taxpayers will have to pay for) at least she will be doing somthing about it and giving her babies the mother they deserve.
And those who say we shouldnt judge you're wrong. We have every right to judge because she's put her story out there for us to judge!
Aww.x Her Babiess Are Cute =]
And Leanne doesnt have 4 children, this was her first pregnancy so has 3 children
Martin what a horrible little man you sound with your idiotic porkypig comments. I congratulated her quite sincerely because I see no reason to not congratulate her on the birth of her babies. She worked up until she couldn't so isn't your typical dole scrounger it was the fathers choice to not stay with her yet where are the comments slagging him off for not supporting them financially? She stopped drinking and smoking to give her babies a better chance and she intends to work on losing weight all positive things as far as I can see. Who knows if/when she will go to work it doesn't say in the article so why just assume she won't? Her weight does not determine whether or not she is a good parent the fact that she has already taken positive steps to become healthier bodes well for her abilities as a parent.
And where are people getting FOUR kids from there is no mention in the article of a fourth child.
This is totally disgusting why should our hard earned cash go support a fat lazy sponger !!!!
some of the comments on here are a bit harsh the naming of the babbies is particularly out of order.... these are innocent kids.....and its through people like that making rude and innappropriate comments that bullying starts in 5 years time when those little cherubs start the school and get bullied or whatever its down to absent minded people like urself teaching kids the wrong way in life that make that all come about so shame on you!!!
Leanne concieved naturally and although over weight doesnt mean she should have her babbies taken away from her as long as she loves them and looks after them like any other loving mummy whats the problem? with 3 little `uns to look after she will find it hard to go to work anyway so whats this about scrounging theres slim people out there with no kids that dont work and alot more scrounging i could talk about but i wont ramble on its just such a shame that all u perfect people put there have to judge so harshly....
i dont think shes lazy ben,and living near her does not give you the right to slate her, the babies are here and what makes you think she will be a bad mum, saying nasty things about her because shes fat makes you a horrible person and those of you who do should take a hard look at your lives. the fact is this lady defied the Doctors and everything rubbish we are feed about FAT/OBESITY/ MOBIDITY/ GOD KNOWS WHAT and had 3 healthy babies and as a tax payer myself am happy to pay for her safe delivery and after care and if i know where she lives will make a donation for the upkeep of these kids
I cannot believe some of the nasty small minded comments about this woman. She conceived naturally and was entitled to nhs care during her pregnancy and the birth, she worked up until she couldn't so isn't your typical dole scrounger, the father of the babies made his choice to not support her so she is doing it alone with the help of her mum. Whats the problem with that there are loads of single parents out there and they don't always choose to be single parents.
She gave up smoking and drinking during her pregnancy to give her babies a better chance and now she is set on losing weight so how on Earth does anything in the story make her a bad mum? As someone else said if she had been anorexic everybody would be saying what an achievement it was that she got pregnant naturally they wouldn't be going on about her need to claim income support until the babies are older. Leanne's situation is no different, given her obesity it was a minor miracle she conceived naturally, and where in the article does it say she has no intention of ever going to work? It doesn't people just see her size and assume she won't because they are vindictive narrow minded bigots.
Congratulations Leanne on your three beautiful babies, ignore the narrow minded people and just do the best you can for the babies and yourself.
to all you small minded people out there i new leanne when we went cadets together she was always up for the activitise so stop your nasty coments just cos she is a big girl does not give any of us the right to judge if she should have then children taken off her. as i remember leanne she was a fun loving girl who has had it hard from people picking on her and he weight people who are horrible about peoples weight are very small minded leave people alone we are all individuals and thats how we like. imagine some coming into your home telling you that your a terrible parent and that they are taking your kids away just cos you have a weight problem. i just want to sat congrats to leanne and good luck with her life with her children x
Leannes a disgrace ! I have to Live near her ! She is the laziest person in the world She can barely walk and took her atleast 15 minuets to walk down a 2 minuet road and she was out of breathe ! She will be a useless mum and shes doing it for the money !
here we go again,yet another fat,lazy,scrounging,social security sucking,never paid tax in her life,will never pay her way,will never get a job ,useless breeding machine! harsh,i think not annoyed ,too true. thats my hard earned money shes making full use of,when is somone going to put a stop to this blatant doling out of taxpayers money to the beggars of this country,next thing we will be paying for is a disability cart for her to take them to school.they can all get on it with her and ride everywhere and then we can look forward to paying for another three fat useless scroungers in the future sucking the social security and or disability dry .yours seethingly minority group of the country THE INCOME TAX PAYERS
if Leanne had been anorexic and very thin peqple would be saying how amazing that she had managed to conceive and give birth and congratulating her and yet her health and energy levels would be much the same. Obesity is a condition just the same and yet we pity very thin and condem the fat. Yes she should give it her best shot to lose weight but will need lots of help and support. well done Leanne enjoy your babies
I don't think I have ever been so disgusted. I can only hope that in a years time I am reading about her huge weightloss and not her death.
i feel its a disgrace to the system my partner works dam hard 2 supports me and our 3 children and we get peanlised cause he works, im a smoker and pay taxes on cigaretts but food NO TAXES ARE PAID and she gets 200,000 health care free and they tell smokers give up smoking before any care is received disgrace. and to top it off my hard working partner and many others out there are goin work for her to sit on her bum and eat and claim benefits
Congratulations Leanne and to your beautiful triplets. Thank goodness you have your Mum on hand to help. I have baby twins and were born earlier and smaller than yours - good on you for not terminating. However, do try to loose some weight for your own health and to eneable you to enjoy your babies more. Good luck.
So the taxpayer forked out £200,000 to ensure 4 people are alive and well, and will again be financially supporting this family on meagre amounts, which will be tricky with the rising cost of living.
As a tax payer, I'd rather support this UK family than the BILLIONS spent on war, killing our own soliders and destroying other families.
Good luck to Leanne and her brood, and top marks for her supportive mum.
Good on you Leanne
It was up to you to have your babies however large you were, you are a brave lady. It will now give you the incentive to lose weight to make sure your babies have their mum around to love and cherish, but if you don't lose weight so what, just hope that you are healthy and well, congrats.xxx
THIS PERSON IS ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING, SHE SHOULD BE MADE TO PAY THIS HERSELF, OR KEEP HER CLOTHES ON 4 CHILDREN WITH A WOMAN THIS SIZE HOW CAN SHE BE A FIT MOTHER, THEY WILL ALL GROW UP THE SAME AS HER AT THE TAXPAYERS EXPENSE EVERY TIME...
shame on the people on here that are pleased for her! do they really think in her state she will be able to care for the babies without any help! i would say i feel sorry for the mum/grandmother but then she no doubt had a part to play in her daughters weight gain. So her babies won't have a father like she didn't, and what a role model she is going to be. Thyroid! well my mum has an underactive thyroid, there is medication for this, she clearly self medicates with food!!!
