What I hate about all the "Parental Responsibility".
Sure most of it is parental responsibility, but obviously there is a problem (poverty being the biggest), but maybe we need more services from when a child is born. Maybe plunket needs to be expanded to do more checkups. And help parents along the way.
Our society is a shitload different than 50 years ago when there was (mostly) 1 parent at home, and parents only working 9-5. Or family units and neighbourhoods to help out. Or where most of the food had less processing (and less sugar)
Yes it's Parental Responsibility but when families are struggling day to day, working multiple jobs to survive, there is only one group in society that is going to suffer - the children.
Why can't we live in a society where there are the services to help these families. Services that provide more options.
Society has changed, but unfortunately a lot of minds sets have not
