So you agree that we should just <b>stop all benefits</b> immediately! Because to do otherwise we reward massive disfunction.<br /><br /><i>This dysfunction does also occur throughout society not just with Solo mothers.</i><br /><br />No, but with solo mothers <b>you and are paying for it</b> (and so we, rather than the bludger moms, are morally responsible for it). Again, the moral is simple: stop the benefits, the DPB, the dole, the sickness, the super, <b>stop the lot</b>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-65710299593611510492011-12-22T20:57:13.120+13:002011-12-22T20:57:13.120+13:00CYF must be destroyed NOW!

Funny thing about those of us parents who are switched onto this issue - we take each case we read to heart. And Paula Bennett is not exception. <br /><br />I agree that the child should never have been returned to her mother given that she had loving & stable caregivers ready to take her into their lives & hearts for life. <br /><br />My biggest issue is all those thousands of children who don't have decent support, where every family member is as messed up as the next. What happens to them? Good foster parents are in short supply - we have thought about it, but honestly it is a MAMMOTH ask so if not us, not you, not other commentators then who? Who will care for all these children if the govt agencies manage to successfully intervene early & remove them?<br /><br />If we can't answer this question then we dont have a solution to child abuse.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19962237.post-49918018018486749662011-12-22T14:46:27.029+13:002011-12-22T14:46:27.029+13:00NZ, gone to the dogs.

It is past time that such people were held responsible for their actions. If CYF staff consider "cultural and identity" factors trump the safety of the child, they should be held personally accountable for the outcomes.<br /><br />Well done and thanks, Lindsay, for being a real advocate for the poor and powerless in society and advocating rational policies for self-improvement rather than just mouthing the usual platitudinous slogans of the political left.Kiwiwithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10507667837257013301noreply@blogger.com
