Re: HSE employ 25 people, spend 2m, caring for 2 disruptive children: waste of money?
I would say bad parents include the following: drug addicts, drunks, complusive gamblers, child abusers physical or sexual, other criminals who spend their lives in and out of prison and have no care or consideration for their children. Of course you can have an out of control child but in a lot of cases it seems to be a family affair where all the children end up involved in crime. In those cases I would suspect the parents have a responsilility..
The main point I was making is that people who know they would be "bad" parents should not have children. If I were any of the above I think it would dawn on me not be become a parent because the only one likely to be suffer would be my child.
And how would you know they are bad parents before they "breed"? Also you can have an out of control child without having particularly bad parents, or they could be orphaned, or have a mental illness.....its not as simple as you seem to think.
Who would adopt these children, and how would you legislate for forced adoptions? I'm afraid you are talking complete rubbish.....
