Waiting in Angels attorney Gloria Allred told the “Today” show that the Suleman babies are at risk, left to the discretion of their media-grubbing mother. “How can she succeed if she is subjecting her babies to potential risks of harm, if she doesn’t come into the nursery to feed her own babies, to hold them, to bathe them, to change them, to love them, to bond with them ... except when the cameras are rolling? That’s wrong.” Wrong of the media to care still, that is. (Nick Ut / Associated Press)
