Why do some kids get such a raw deal?

Pity the poor kids though.

Poor little buggers indeed...now, they even have to look at being separated. My guess would be that if they ran away together, they'd want to stay together.

Geriatric's rant - when actions had consequences, when if you were responsible for fathering a child you would support both the mother and the child because no one else would and you would be publicly shamed if you avoided your responsibilities - while the situation was far from perfect, the children were not neglected and murdered the way they currently are.

Now, not only are there no negative consequences to fathering children recklessly, but there are positive financial incentives to do so, for which the balance of the population is taxed to pay.

/Rant off.

I must have been geriatric for the last 10 years and I'm only 32...Good rant sir! I'm with you all the way on that one.

Well yes, every child they have gives them more money on their benefit.
And if they run away, it will take awhile for them to take the extra money off them

A lot of them only have kids to get the "benefit". Shit I know one solo mother who has 4 kids and gets over $700 a week. I do over at work and still dont get close to that.
