Brown: Labour will imprison single mothers
Teenage single mothers will be “placed in a network of supervised homes,” shared homes where they will be taught parenting skills and given other skills. Mr Brown said: “It cannot be right for a girl of sixteen to get pregnant, be given the keys to a council flat, and be left on her own.”
The age of consent is 16. Let's say a girl of that age decides to have Birthday Sex. It was a one night stand. Nine months later baby comes along. What is wrong with offering support in her own home, albeit a council flat?
This sounds too much like supervision orders, probation, and Approved Premises like Bail Hostels. The supervised homes used by the Youth Justice System are but child prisons with another name.
What on earth could Brown have been thinking? Is he mentally unwell? Or, his speech writer for that matter?
Remind me again which party Gordon Brown is in. If this is Nanny State it's at its worst!
UPDATE: Teenage single mothers are parasites - Daily Express
Now it's beginning to make sense. Knee-jerkism to tabloid headlines!
UPDATED UPDATE: Gulags for slags
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
