Nick vents on public release of twins' birth certificates
Saturday 21 May 2011
First-time father Nick Cannon is irate over the release this week of "informational" copies
of his newborn twins' birth certificates. "Who ever released my children's birth certificates
need they ass whooped," the entertainer tweeted Friday evening.
Many of his followers agreed. "For real. They should be ashamed, those people are just sick,"
a tweeter identified as Allan Fraga wrote. Cannon's wife singer/songwriter Mariah Carey gave
birth to their daughter Monroe and son Moroccan, affectionately called Roc and Roe, on April
30. Dem Babies, as the couple refer to the twins collectively, were released last Saturday
from the UCLA Medical Center where they were born.
Under California law, authorized copies of birth certificates may be released to the person
named on it, his or her parents, or legal guardians. Others who may request an authorized
copy include the person's child, grandparent, grandchild, brother or sister, spouse, or
domestic partner. Outside parties that may receive authorized copies with proper legal
authority include anyone who has a court order, an attorney, a licensed adoption agency,
law enforcement or an other governmental agency conducting official business, or the
representative of a funeral establishment acting in his or her official capacity.
Others may request informational copies, as some members of the media did. They contain the
same information as authorized copies but have the words "informational, not a valid document
to establish identity" emblazoned across them in red ink.
This is at least the second breach of the family's privacy. Last week, a child protection
officials launched an "investigation" after being told Carey was advised to drink some
Guiness to stimulate milk production. It turned out the investigation was a ruse to get
photos of the babies to sell to media.
