Come on be fair. Likelyfran is perfectly entitled to be put off putting any children she may have in any nursery due to a single instance of abuse (probably) hundreds of miles from where she lives. I uphold her right to decide that. Provided I am not paying for her to exercise that right she may do as she wishes...

I trust she also won't be getting in a car anytime soon - they are prone to crashing. No holidays anytime in the near future since planes are so unreliable as more than one has crashed. Public transport is a bit dicey - trains are defintely out and I bet a bit of reserach would demonstrate that there have been a few bus crashes. Bikes - well lets not go there; and pedestrains tend to get run over so altogether, it's probably best not to go out... and then there's all those household accidents - falling down stairs; gas and CO2 leaks; electrocution from dodgy wiring; the possibility of accidentally falling on the bilnds and being stangled by the cords....

All of which are more likely than a child being abused in a nursery or school, but one can just never be too careful.... I repeat what I said earlier - 99% of all abuse occurs in the home and is committed by a parent or relative. Alarmist opinions based on a single incident do not reflect truth, only prejudice.

Someone said just hav another kid and they leave you alone, is this true?

This october 2012 child age will reduce from 5 to 3! Then 2013 child age reduce from 3 to 2.

So don't waste your time having another kid as income support will be phased out in 2015.

If you want another baby that fine but don't expect the government to pay for your child, just go to work and earn it and feed the kid, if you can't afford it or can't be bother look for work as another excuse to have 9 more kids to stay on income support, more child tax credits earning is abused the benefits to make your life more easier.

Your kid, you are responsible to pay it! Not the hard workers taxpayer!

GO TO WORK, U LAZY !

I understand perfectly well and better than you do. I am fully in support of any parent (not mother - that would be discrimination) staying at home to care for their child. And I support absolutely their right to support themselves to do that. That is the purpose of the family unit. This young woman is proposing to find a man - any man - to get another child that is not wanted by either of them, to avoid having to take a job that isn't "right" for her. You are the one who needs to open their eyes.

And we could never have THAT in this PC age, so of course mothers and fathers are EXACTLY the same in every way.
Where did the OP say that a further child would not be wanted by herself or the father or that she envisaged the situation that way?
Answer: NOWHERE.
Amazing how so many people can make stuff up and throw it into the mix.

Now I welcome a researched and substantiated come back, interesting numbers but even leaving 50% of the bill equates to 75 billion on a creaking system abused by many

So you don't know that billions and billions are spent on 'defence' by this country's government, without me going and getting you the exact figures? Wow.

Yes it is, but any good, caring, aware mother has the ability to protect her child, where she cannot if she hands it to someone she doesn't know.

If this government has it's way, ALL benefits - and the NHS - will be completely phased out (but they can't admit that's their intention and have to do it bit by bit so who knows how long it will be before the goal is acheived)

I'm sure I must just have misunderstood your post but what about the kids that get abused in the home. Please tell me you're not trying to suggest it's the mum's fault for not protecting their child? (other than when it's the mum herself of course)

I've got drawn off topic against my better judgement...
