Visited Britain in 2002, niece of mine pointed out all the houses in the area that had single moms living in them, told me she was friendly with a lot around her own age and yes it was planned to get a home and an income from the government. Sadly the down side was they all appeared to want out at the weekends and live the life of what kids that age should do and took any kid in the area in to babysit.

Little girls of 14 were babysitting and brought their boyfriends in. Saw many kids having drinks parties while they were supposed to be in charge of kids not much younger than themselves. The young moms brought guys home who used them for a night. My sister told me it's normal over there and no one seems to mind.

What will these poor kids growing up in these homes think is normal family life ? The benefits system in the UK is a joke, you fill in forms you get in a postal office and the money arrives. You get 90.00 dollars extra a week if your kid suffers from hyperactivity. They get a date to have the kid assessed at home. When the medic comes out the child has been given one of three brands of undiluted fruit juice for three days and they pass the test as the kid is hyper ! UK streets paved in gold I say.
