gross generalisations tick me off
Dear Wongo
I have a point of issue with your blanket generalization in your Quote, about the thread on Methadone and little Rose
It reeks of tunnel vision'd ignorance and bias and Sensationalism (much like the media who print these stories) implies that single mums are more likely to be “Serial Mums!” with multiple genetic donors of the “Y” chromosome persuasion. LOL
The majority of Single Mum’s I have come across are not sole parents by choice but through divorce or through a death of a partner.
I’ve worked in the Biomedical Field for over 10 years and the majority of my co-workers were, as you like to term “Single Mums”, I have no doubt they have paid their fair share of taxes and possibly more taxes than yourself.
And as it is a horribly sad indictment that an innocent child lost her life due to the ignorance, and stupidity of her parents, I fail to see the connection between the two. Apart from your implication that Single Mums equates to Serial Mums equates to Potential Negligent Mums therefore resulting in the death of said offspring.
Having used a lot of mathematical formulas in my time your theory is sadly lacking (That’s for the censors out there to read the implications LOLOL) I have seen first hand at just how difficult it has been for some of my co-workers to not only be a sole parent, but to try and juggle a career and just because they don’t possess the “Y” chromosome have to put up with similar attitudes from Patriarchal Dominated Research Academics! And the contempt shown to them because they have had a child! Is misogynistic
So while we are all saddened by the needless loss of such an innocent life perhaps we can take some solace in the knowledge we as parents will never place our own Children or any child in such a situation.
And for all who are impacted by this if you are religious perhaps offer up a prayer or blessing to your prospective Deities or God that it never happens to another child again.

I agree with the low self esteem comment
Some of these girls end up with very low self esteem and consequently make poor decisions regarding drunken deekwit blokes at pubs.
We can hope the children they have wont end up in the same place. (I'm sure my neighbour's daughter will be pregnant in 6 months)[/QUOTE]
yes and the glossy mags depiction of what supposedly is perfection when my daughter was in year 2 at school she asked if she was fat,
she's like her dad (very slender) I asked why and she said her class mate wanted to go on a diet
7 yrs old that was scary society I am afraid still has a lot to answer for
and the low self esteem sadly is a learned behaviour so if they see the parents with low self esteem it often is repeated albeit unconsciously
and that is very sad
