There is nothing inherently wrong with a family having 14 kids. In past generations, especially in rural areas, a dozen was about average - but the births were spread over a fairly long span so that the older kids got to help raise the younger ones and it's no longer considered acceptable to let the kids run loose around the barnyard while daddy (or mommy) plows the back 80. The mother quite obviously has relied on her own mother for the care of the earlier half dozen kids, and granny has said "I'm outta here." (Commendible "tough love," although a little late.)
The larg single tragedy is that the largest of these "babies" was about 3 pounds at delivery, with the smallest barely a pound. It is an almost absolute certainty that every one of these children will suffer - for their entire life - from at least some of the developmental disabilities associated with extreme premature birth. Principal problems (that I know and have seen) are with lung development, immune system, and circulatory defects and there are no known methods of treatment that have high probability of "curing" them. (Half of them will have impaired hearing by age 6, due to recurring "ear infections" attendant to undeveloped immune response?)
Although the publicity surrounding this "birthing" pretty much mandates that the infants will receive the best possible care in the hospital, it would be no surprise if one or more do not survive to "infancy;" and the "loss" of one or more should cause no complaints about the competency of their care, since the infants are at a stage of (un)development that makes their survival questionable beyond what current medical resources can assure.
The really "scary" part of the story is that this woman is studying to be a counselor to help others solve all their problems. (But a very compentent psyciatrist once told me that "only crazy people study psychology.)
