It's sad. I worked for several years in the Human Service field. Some of these women look at having kids as a way to get more Government funding. I would hear clients talking about this as I was working in the field. Don't get me wrong, there were many cases of people who just fell on hard times and were doing all they could to put things back together but more than a few were making a way of life out of the system. The pros tend to now the system better than many of us who worked in the field. It gets sad when the parents main concern is getting as much as they can not for the kids, but for themselves. It sucks that a system set up to help the kids can be twisted against them by selfish parents. I can say it was a relatively small percentage of the case loads I had.
