Okay, I don't really believe that. But the letter headed "Antisocial move" is a definite indicator of one major source of problems.
Gavin Mooney, co-convener, WA Social Justice Network, writes that, "We all want this to be a State where we have a Government which looks after our kids." Where's the problem with that? you ask... Try, "a Government which looks after our kids."
What I would really like, is a state where the families look after their kids. Better yet, a community where the parents look after their own kids.
Parents have children. Parents should look after children. Sure, some parents have problems. So "the State" can give them help. Perhaps even support. Maybe "the State" could even take over looking after the children of problem parents. But first responsibility for children is -- and always should be -- with the parents.
Please think again, Mr Mooney.
