Child poverty in NZ (TV3 22/11)

[Maha]

I have even heard one parent advising her 15yr old daughter to get pregnant so they could get more bennie. Some pretty fucked up attitudes out there.

Poverty is in the DNA of some for sure..how to alter that?...dont know, not my feild of expertise.
I would be a wealthy man if I did know.

Even could make the jails make all the food for the schools.
They could grow all their own food, raise some cattle, sheep etc. even learn to butcher an animal, give them some tools/structure for when they get out not only in the growing but the prep work and organisational skills to plan.

This not only keeps the cost down for jails but now gets cheaper better quality food for the kids.

There is so much untapped potential in this country we just need to think outside the box.

Would you eat food prepared by a pedo who spent half an hour dipping his pecker into the kids pudding?

The woman's prison who were going to be eating food prepared by the local mens prison weren't to excited for obvious reasons some years back.

But I understand where your comeing from with to much human waste, or is that wasted humans?

I doubt you would, you would be forced redistribute your wealth

Money Laundering?...

If you have a look at any black culture it's in their nature to breed like rabbits.

ignorant as usual, have a look at some of the white supremecist groups that say white people should be breeding faster (and are doing do in there small groups) so we can have more kids than the "blacks"

I for one (and im sure im not the only one) am tired of your racist comments

we get it you dont like anybody whos not like you

Keep it to yourself

(and your angry little retaliation red reps are a bit ridiculous)

Money Laundering?...

Dunno if running bike events count?

But it will depend on the political flavour the country is in at the time.

For each of my school aged kids, reduce my Working For Families credit by $30 a week, in return give them FREE health care and a healthy, school provided meal. What parent wouldn't agree to that?

The parents that spend the childrens benefit dollars on beer, cigs, the naggs and dope.

[Tigadee]

I'm struggling to see why this is a bad idea.

It's not at all. But the major political parties will not agree even on this, and think only in terms of 4 years instead of 14 or 40 years...

And the petty silly thing about it is, whichever party comes out with this idea, will be shot down only just because, no other reason. Another problem is whether the party that does take up this idea of prevention at early childhood will follow through...

[MSTRS:Me]

Can be almost 100% certain it'll never happen. Our lords and masters are not into building fences (except when they're made by Brifen). And the ambulances that get sent to the bottom of the cliff are usually so poorly maintained that they fail to arrive.

[scumdog]

The one thing that grinds me down in my job - seeing lazy-arsed drug-smoking, piss-drinking 'parents' who grizzle how hard/expensive it is to bring up kids. (While said kids run amuck at 2am without any concern of the 'parents')

And above type only really get excited and 'care' for said kids when the threat of CYFS looms on the horizon.

And they talk to me like it's all quite normal and butter wouldn't melt in their mouths and tell me their kids are 'good kids'.

I just want to punch them in their nicotine-stained broken-toothed mouth.

I love them, keep them coming SmokeU. Don't let this nigger hippy keep you down.

[scumdog]

If you have a look at any black culture it's in their nature to breed like rabbits.

And as sooon as they figure out how to keep them all alive... your lilly-white ass will be a-puckering....

Nah they wont care. They will take their spending out of what the spent on the kids, but as the kids now get feed at school it wont hurt them as much.

[White trash]

Nah they wont care. They will take their spending out of what the spent on the kids, but as the kids now get feed at school it wont hurt them as much.

Exactly. We'll no longer be giving the dropkicks the money in the hope they feed their kids, we'll be passing it on to people who actually care about kids and make sure they're fed.

[Mad-V2]

But then you will have parents not buying food for their kids dinner, cause they've had a big feed at school.
Toast for breakfast and tea at home and a nice wholesome meal at school.
The situation won't change when it comes to useless parents.
