Child-neglect allegations won't stick

SANTA ANA, Calif. -- Prosecutors won't file charges against Octomom Nadya Suleman after a caregiver last month reported allegations of child neglect at her home, an official at the district attorney's office said Friday.

There's not enough evidence to move forward with the case submitted by the La Habra police department, said Susan Kang Schroeder, chief of staff at the Orange County district attorney's office.

Suleman has been in the media spotlight since giving birth to octuplets in 2009 after she already had six children. Her manager says she moved from La Habra, Calif., to Palmdale two weeks ago.

The manager, Gina Rodriguez, said the allegations are not true and come from a woman who became obsessed with the children. Suleman moved from La Habra in part to avoid the woman, Rodriguez said.
