In order to help meet the costs of social care Worcestershire County Council proposes charging for children taken into care

It looks like anyone and everyone is looking to abdicate any shred of social responsibility, all in the name of "reducing cost"

The older I get, the better I was

Advice is what we seek when we already know the answer - but wish we didn't

I'd rather have a full bottle in front of me than a full-frontal lobotomy

The only people I could see this affecting is good parents / carers of ill / disabled children who simply cannot cope any longer. Given the government's stated objective of protecting the most vulnerable then we should all sleep easy.

It is of course a vile suggestion which makes your sig ring ever more true.

However there is a simple way for the vulnerable children of Worcestershire to avoid any costs. Throw a brick through the council offices window and become a young offender. From the article:

"....the council will still pay for statutory child protection, adoption services and for services for young offenders and those involved in anti-social behaviour. "

If parenting is so bad that the kid needs taking into care, I don't think it is unreasonable for the family in question to make some contribution to the kid's upbringing, finances permitting.

If someone has made a lifestyle choice to have a child, why should the rest of us fund that child if they have the means to do so themselves but, for whatever reason, cannot?

I love this "lifestyle choice" bollox. To me a lifestyle choice involves whether to keep my hair short or grow it, or what type of car I'd like to drive. I certainly never made a lifestyle choice to spend two years wiping shit from my daughter's arse or milky spew off my newly dry-cleaned suit






The older I get, the better I was
