I agree that the world isn't perfect and that parents aren't too, but I think one of the posters is right in saying that the family should try to help together first. The father had problems, yes, but the older children should have tried to minimize the shortcomings of their father by being the new mothers.

But enough of that, I shouldn't judge/hypothesize since I don't know fully their circumstance.

A "safe-haven" law has its uses. Better for children to be given up to social services than be abandoned in the streets... or be sold as sex slaves... or be involved in mass parricide. :(
 
Sounds like a decent law. Help instead of judgement seems infinitely more productive.


If one is not fit to have a child then they should not have one. Simple as that. There are too many irresponsible people in this world where issues like this come about.
Wow, that's so simple I wonder how there could ever a problem. :rolleyes:

Thanks for letting me know!

People are dim, one can never predict future circumstances, my family was perfect up till my mother died and my father lost his job and then we barely got by for several years.

s*** happens and sometimes people just can't deal with it, those kids would end up on the streets if there wasn't such a system in place.
