i can relate to this thread...i exprienced alot of this when i was teaching..
the parents so high on 'p' while the kids come to school hungry..
sometimes we would pick these kids as young as 6 off the street as late as
11pm..wandering the streets...we would feed them then take them home..but
they would run away..they would rather be anywhere else but there.

I dont comment on the look of the peoples furniture or the looks of thier houses
as sometimes this is wat they consider to be their castles and mainly wat they can afford..no house or wats inside phases me ...as long as the children are safe,,happy and comfortable ..BUT!!!when you consider on what they spend thier social welfare money on..truly pisses u off.
In my area..on benny days ..as early as 6 am..[i get up at 5 n sit outside with my coffee].....you will see parents hopping off the bus carrying small packets of food and big boxes of alcohol..n the lil ones munching happily on a pie..fucken pathetic.

my years as a teacher ..i have seen so much self poverty and i have made many many attempts to get these kids out of those homes..but they are put with relatives who are no better than the parents..calling welfare service does nothing but put the child in worse situations..
so wat do we do..?? NOTHING..just sit here and get fucken mad..then go home and hug our own children and promise them to love them till we die..
we promise our own children sentimental things ..and thank god that we are more better parents than wats outside our doors.
