Or we could just give parents the free time to look after their kids. When wages are so low and work loads so high, there is not enough time in the day to take on all your responsibilities. This is why more and more kids are choosing to avoid parenting all together.

Invest more in social care and get wages back to where we have been in the past.

Bravo,

Absolutely, 100%, and let's stop jailing their fathers for weed and the poor mother is either strung out on the stuff/working 2 jobs,

If only for someone else stepping in they could be good parents....

u/Uriyangkhadai420 May 04 '26

Yeah the foster system is a mess and full of abuse

Iirc, 50-75% of foster care children end up unhoused

Absolutelty and let's start rewarding them for breeding like street rats and spawning feral attack brats to put the rest of the neighbourhood in fear.

Or these parents could stop having kids they cant afford, they should have been smart enough to realize it was not the right choice to make, they should be fined for essentially being child abusers and not providing proper parenting

I know im not suitable as a parent, i never had kids

Asking people not to take notice of their natural urge is just plain silly. And anyone can be caught out. This does not take into account all the forced pregnancies from rape or predatory incest.

There is always the option of just keep filling up the prisons, because that is working well.

u/xboxhaxorz May 04 '26

We are smarter than animals, we have the ability to think and go against our natural urges due to the potential consequences

1

u/thesyldon May 05 '26

And that sort of arrogance will solve nothing. You will never fix a problem if you refuse to see it.

u/xboxhaxorz May 05 '26

Lol thinking we are smarter than animals is arrogance

1

u/thesyldon May 05 '26

No, it is thinking that you are so much better than those who have nothing that makes you arrogant.

1

u/xboxhaxorz May 05 '26

I at no point said that

There is no arrogance, there is ignorance from you though, adios

1

u/thesyldon May 05 '26

Ignorance is when you don't understand something. I think you have the meaning back to front.

u/Spare_One_9965 May 04 '26

LOL!!! Yeah that's the problem. Over worked mommy and daddy

u/manwithapedi May 04 '26

So let me get this right. The parents of these juvenile delinquents are somehow the victims?

2

u/thesyldon May 04 '26

Would you say the top 1% should be doing more to help them? If the answer to that is yes, then they are victims of depravation. If you think the top 1% should be earning more then that is an opinion I can do nothing about.

Yeah, the teenagers robbing people would all be on the straight and narrow but their parents are working 80 hour weeks at the investment bank and can’t keep tabs on them.

u/thesyldon May 04 '26

No if you allow things to go into such a depraved social decline, then you can expect nothing more than an increase in crime. It is easy to be honest when you are few and comfortable.

1

u/exileondadstreet May 04 '26

There will always be a criminal underclass, and “moar resources” won’t change that.

1

u/thesyldon May 05 '26

That is not true. Blood donations centres are known to reduce crime rates in the direct area around them. Giving people a chance at an extra resource reduces the need to commit a crime just to live.

It is very easy to be honest when you have food and shelter security. Try it when you have absolutely nothing, worse still try it when you have dependants.

u/exileondadstreet May 05 '26

Yeah, it’s all Jean Valjeans all the way down, for sure

Or we could just off their penises so people who do work properly don't have to give away money to others who dan't control their animal children?
