12:2729852I totally agree with Rogers view as per post 32.
Of course there has always been and always will be single mums. A fact of life.
Many bring their child up well and is often because of the support given by their family.You cannot cast a picture of failure to all single mums and full credit to those that succeed in bringing up a child under often difficult circumstances.
The area that is in question is the mum that deliberately seeks as many children with differnt fathers and is doing so to secure as much benefit and housing.
We do need to totally look at benefits etc as the real problem in Calais is the fact that the UK is seen as the Land of Honey with state hand outs and the perception that everyone has a job.
No doubt as a General Election looms this will be a major topic as more and more people who have worked and contributed taxes all their life are getting fed up with this mamby pandy state.

16:2330201Just read an interesting article with regard to single teenage mothers, apparently the cot death charity, The Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths (FSID), has just launched the UK's first networking site for teenage parents to help give them a sense of being part of a 'club' as well as useful information, as sometimes young mothers feel very isolated. FSID decided to spend resources on this site after consultation with young parents across the country. We read much about the number of single teenage mothers in this country and no matter how we feel about this phenomenon, there's no doubt that these young girls and their sometimes vulnerable babies need all the help and support they can get. If you know a teenage mum you might like to pass on the web address
www.bubbalicicious .co.uk and encourage her to check it out.

the home start scheme links up young mothers that need help with trained volunteers from the public,
it can just be someone to talk to, someone to help with the baby, the housework, the shopping etc.
most of the volunteers are women that have had a family, now grown up, so are fully qualified in understanding the problems and also offering solution.

20:2430213Sure start and Home start were started by the Goverment to help young families start in life,they do a good job and the one in Tower Hamlets at the Ark is thriving I understand,make the most of it because I understand they may reduce the money or even close if the Tories get in.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!
