DCS moves to cut off YouTube mom's $4,900 monthly adoption subsidy

The Department of Child Safety has suspended paying the adoption subsidy to a Maricopa mother who is accused of abusing and neglecting her seven children, and officials are seeking to end the monthly payments altogether.

Machelle Hobson receives state support for each of her seven adopted children, a total amount estimated to be as much as $4,900 a month. But since she was arrested last week, and her children placed in the foster system, the subsidy payments won't serve their intended purpose of supporting the children.
