Under the inauspicious guise of keeping an eye on "bad families"...
Story.
Eugh....not only a shocking waste of money but further proof that our 'left-wing' government is intent on taking us back to 1984. That Orwell chap must have been psychic.
What does everyone else think?

So even if the kids might be being abused? I know it was only a throwaway comment so I'm not picking you up on it, just saying sometimes it's worth being extra clear. FWIW my cousins kids have just been listed as vulnerable or something (basically go on a list where the government keeps an eye on you) and whilst my cousin and her partner aren't nasty or abusive, they are no model parents, happily spending the day on facebook or in front of the tv while the kids crawl about the house doing god knows what.
Stupid morons are actually in some ways the brightest people on the face of the planet, just when you think nobody can be more stupid than a particular example or instance you see, some ingenious git goes and manages it.
it's not, but there are more forms of abuse than just hitting/doing sexual things to them.
Neglect is the most common, and it's something "parents" like this do everything they can to hide from social services, and normally they are successful. Then as soon as the social have gone, things revert back. They're raising the next generation, and the they're creating a generation of unhealthy, aggressive, unfit, unclean, unkempt children.
The scariest shit is people like you are allowed to wear a uniform.
If that's what you think then fine. If you'd seen some of the things I'd seen you'd think differently.
I think the fence is pretty comfy.
I think the idea of monitoring a "parent" who is neglecting their children will ultimately have the desired effect anyway. Either
1.They know they're being watched so they start looking after their kids because they HAVE to.
2.They know they're being watched, and start looking after their kids because they realise they are awful parents.
3.They know they're being watched but don't give a shit. They continue neglecting their kids but now the Police and Social services have the evidence they need to put the children with a family who can look after them and prosecute the "parents" for neglect.
Some people are poor excuses for human beings. Some of the things they do to their children are at best disgusting and at worst inhuman. Anything that prevents more children dying at the hands of adults who should be sterilised can only be a good thing.
Social services can't always be trusted to get their decisions right, either- just look at the number of parents who've lost their children because of unfounded allegations. Look at Sally Clark.
