Interview under caution twice?

I think I'd ask them to interview the kids, speak to their schools and see if they need intervention so that they don't end up morally bankrupt like their mother.

What an excellent idea, the old Bill absolutely adores interviewing 1 and 3 year old children about benefit fraud. I believe they do little else.

I don't like benefit fraud and I don't like being expected to support people who then effectively thieve from me either - but this moralistic high horse that anyone who has committed any sort of crime should have their children removed lest they teach them the wrong morals is ridiculous. You've never, ever, watched a pirate DVD, downloaded music or a book for free and avoided paying for it, or something similar? Because I struggle to find someone who hasn't done this sort of thing. They're crimes. When you do it you commit a crime. So maybe that makes all those people unfit parents?

Struggle no more... I have never watched a pirated DVD, illegally downloaded anything, nor stolen anything... the fact that you feel eveyone might have done this is a sign of how our standards and expectations really are slipping.

Oh Purlease! The 'creator' of western morality said, I believe, 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'. And I see you've just lobbed one over the parapet...

Now I know your just having everyone on and joking around lol, how can they ask a 1 year old, who can't speak, questions, oh yea the 5 year old just starts school in sept, the school will really know if intervention is needed. Yea ask them all if they will fiddle the benefits system when they grow up, I'm sure they will give a truthful answer lol. Mind you, by the time they grow up there probably won't be a benefits system any more.

Regardless of what I think, their mother is a common thief with no morals. You have to wonder who dragged her up to behave like that as well....

Thank you so much, but I wasn't asking you! I don't "feel" that most people have done this - it just takes an honest answer and everybody has done something. Never exceeded the speed limit - even by a little bit and with a really great reason? Gone through an amber light when you culd have stopped? Nobody is so perfect - and if you are, then please apply for sainthood. And actually, despite the fact that my friends think I am weird, I have also never watched a piated DVD, illegally downloaded anything nor stolen anything. I have a really good excuse for occasionally going more than 70 mph on the motorway though.

And regardless of that, you still have not answered the question I asked. Are you perfect or not? Have you NEVER done anything illegal?

Quite right, nobody is perfect, but stealing thousands of pounds of money is hardly akin to watching a pirate DVD. All of the woman's benefits should be stopped (including the carers and everything).

Maybe your right but that doesn't mean she is an unfit mother, and you cannot always blame parents for the way their kids behave, the woman's parents may not have dragged her, that phrase blame the parents really annoys me at times because it's not always the case that parents are to blame, Parents can bring their kids up to be respectful, know right from wrong and all it takes is mixing with the wrong company, get bullied into taking drugs, stealing and that that, nothing to do with the way they have been brought up.

Oh I see, so it's not her fault she's stolen the thousands of pounds then? She's had a bad life.
