    Fuck you talk shite.

    Those parents that didn't already have it have been given it, ask them where it went.

    fuckin idiots. You kinda miss the point doncha? They aren't getting fed properly. There's no money available apparently, yet we can subsidise some private enterprise to recycle some fuckin telly's. As I opened with. Fuckin idiots.

    Nope. The point is the kids parents either supply the kids with food or the taxpayer does. If the food money wasn't used for the intended purpose the first, (and second) time what the fuck makes you think it would the next time. Not learning, that's a fuckin idiot.

    I agree... and you ain't learning. Yes the parents are fuckin hopeless in so many respects it's criminal. So the tax payer needs to foot the bill to feed them. The money has to come from somewhere. Screw the telly recycling and put that budget towards gettin these kids fed. As you highlight, don't give it to the parents... give it directly to the school or whoever will provide the "service", along with Jim's suggestion earlier in the thread to remove 20 bucks from the bene for that purpose.

    Listen, numbnuts: any adult that fails to spend the first money they earn, (or otherwise gain) on feeding their kids isn't a parent. If you want to fix the problem take the kids and give them to a real parent, there's enough of them waiting.

    Brilliant. You mean let's just leave the system as it is and accept that there will be some kids that slide through the cracks? Or did you muffle something else from that bucket of sand that your heads in? I have no real disagreement with what you are suggesting, but it doesn't feed the kids.

    What part of "take the kids and give them to real parents who'll feed them" is leaving the systyem as it is? And in what way is that failing to deal with the problem, dickhead?

    That's what usually happens when parents are found to be neglecting their children isn't it? they're removed from the household and placed elsewhere? As highlighted by someone earlier in the thread, these kids may well be happy with their parents and won't want them to get into any trouble by taking food from those who believe them to be hungry. There is more than one scenario, fart face. The catch all. Feed them at school.

    No, it's not. In fact it very rarely happens, and if you talked to any sort of social worker you'd know that current policies are in fact the exact opposite: leave them with their parents, at almost any cost.

    Go learn some shit before you poke fingers at anyone else.

    So it doesn't happen then? the "threat" isn't issued? especially where the younger kids are concerned? I'm more than aware that there are reasons, some legal, mainly logistical and to that extent very much financial, why the policy is the policy. I'm also aware that the social workers take on a 24/7 job, put themselves in some risky situations, have more than enough clients than they have time (a situation they abhor) etc... I'm don't know every minute detail, but I do understand some of the reasons why some kids aren't removed from the household and how the "judgements" are made... you making out that I "know" otherwise is comical and futile.

    I know enough to know that kids aren't being fed and it's well within the power of the govt to change that, so I'll poke my fingers at whomever I want. Still doesn't help the kids get fed though eh.

    The tax-payer is already paying to have the kids fed.

    As you say, take $20 a week off them for each kid and give it to the school to feed them.

    i just happened to know of a case of a "family" with 6 kids, 5 cats and a half dozen dogs, all were removed from the "parents" (only after a two year legal fuckaround, as the system is wont to do, just so the lawyers get their slice of the profit of society's suffering.)
