There is a surprisingly large percentage of these young Mothers who will not give the name of the father, and in some instances actively do not want the father in their lives. If we adopted the route I suggested prviously, and these mothers were not automatically catered for and housed as they are now, then perhaps they would have more need of a father for their child. If they are housed, furnished and provided for by the council and the government, of course they don't need a partner. That's the way some of them want it, as having the the child means an escape from the family home, and often inadequate parent/s.
