She left her mother’s home at age 13 and soon after was pregnant with her first child. Fast forward 25 years later, and she is a mother of 12 children between the ages of 25 years and eight months old. None of her children live with her and some have branded her a bad mother, but Venus Anita Lalloo says she is a mother who has had a hard life, which included a lot of abuse. She has given birth to 13 children, but one of them died in December last year.
Lalloo believes she is in the fiercest fight of her life and that is to regain custody of her three youngest children, including an eight-month-old baby. But the odds are against her and it is a fight she seems to be losing.
In December last year, Lalloo was sentenced to six months in prison after she was found guilty of three counts of child neglect and was unable to pay the $300,000 fine imposed.
