And if all else fails give some thought to sterilisation to these feral breeders. With this I agree to some extent. The idea at first glimpse has merit. Unfortunately the parents who have kids to stay on the benefit have no real interest in the kids so they will still spend the money on smokes or booze or drugs or any combination of the above. I saw it next door to me a couple of years ago : Girl rents house with 2 kids. Boyfriend (aka dad) is on the dole, a wannabe gangster, well known by police and unable to rent a house, moves in after a week and proceeds to hold parties from Tuesday to the following monday. She is on full DPB and accommodation supplement because dad is unkown and not living with her. (Yeah right). Kids are left free to roam the streets, just so long as they don't get in the way of dad's drinking and dope smoking. And folks, this is not just Sth Ak. This is happening in a suburb or small town near you.	Krakka (17266)

I don't think it would make any difference, parents like that are just useless and the kids would probably just end up dead. Though I expect some of you would see that as "problem solved"...

1382895	2014-09-01 19:04:00	I will probably be growled at.....? No. Listen National Radio every morning between 6.30 and 7 o'clock the business news. The corporates are telling their 100's of millions of profit they make. In the afternoon listen to other people talking about feeding the kids at school. The parties talking openly about feeding the kids at school. The Labour government privatised Telecom in the 90's and send 100's or 1000's of people home. Telecom made 100's of millions profit after that. The public has just injected 1.2 billion to upgrade the network. Isn't that success? National continues privatising! Brilliant results coming out of that soon.:eek: You know who to vote for :)	notechyet (4479)
1382896	2014-09-01 19:54:00	Well, we have one lobby group prattling on about starving kids and we have another prattling on about obesity in our children. :confused: By way of observation I don’t see either as being rife, just another beat-up by the media. :rolleyes:	B.M. (505)
1382897	2014-09-01 20:43:00	Should your taxes be feeding the kids of people who find the cash for smokes and drinks each day of the week? First step if I had hungry kids because of the crazy city rents would be to move the family to a smaller city. All poor do not smoke and drink you know. Again you base your ideas on a few. As for moving, how? You know it cost us over $8000 to move back here. There was a lady I came across down there, she'd moved to take advantage of the free Polytech and then without work could not move back out and was stuck without work. And you know you are not allowed to move to certain places like small towns if on a benefit, you must move to a place with a lot of jobs (big city).	pctek (84)

1382900	2014-09-02 07:19:00	Parents need to target the money to the kids not TAB, alcohol, ciggies, KFC, tattoos, owning a car. If the parents cant feed the kids they should be removed from them and given to childless couples who can look after them properly.	prefect (6291)
1382901	2014-09-02 08:01:00	Bit of a problem with lent kids in that demographic, the odds are a bit against the kid from before birth.	R2x1 (4628)
