Yeah, but dare suggest that the system should be geared away from giving equal money / support to these situations along with married stable two-parent families and you're labelled a throwback to the 1950's.There's (unfortunately) plenty of abuse within all families, but it takes a particularly blinkered (Left) view to ignore that children's best chances occur when they are raised by their parents, where there parents are together and not in the lowest socio-economic groups. Abuse by step-dads/'de-facto' partners occurs at rates higher than the general male raising a kid population. And kids from single parent families show up disproportionately in juvenile (and then adult) crime.
Put a few noses out of joint and shift the encouragement to married working couples to have kids and away from single parent / multiple fathers and over time you'd reduce significantly the number of these cases. Very un-PC, but screw being PC. I'd rather see less of these cases down the track than the continuing willful 'all parents are equal' blindness that helps too many of these cases just keep reoccurring.
We have defiantly entered the zone of the philosophical political opinion here, discussing the merits of family structure and marriage incentives is not what the crime board was set up to discuss. If this is a topic of conversation you wish to pursue please take it to the SCP board.
