Do you really care what I think?

For what it's worth (feel free to stop reading) I think it's a really sad story abut a mum who's failing, and three girls who're gonna miss out on a lot of the good and worthwhile things in life. Thing is it's no co-incidence that she had children early as well - these kind of cycles are hard to break. If you haven't had much of a life yourself, you may well not be the best guide to help your children know what they'd be missing.

Of course it being the Telegraph, Sun etc, the focus is on the scandal of the benefits they get etc. Well for me, if some of that money results in giving those kids better chances and more choices than their mum had, so they break the cycle, then it's money well spent.
