If a law was brought in tomorrow limiting child allowance to two children only, there would still remain the dilemma as to what to do with families like this. Obviously, they can't be left to starve. What is the answer?

This is another Philpott case, although not on the same scale. By having all these children she could never afford without the benefit system, she is abusing the system and making things worse for those in genuine need of help. She is not the only one.

what about the bedroom tax or dont that affect her

They should to work and do like everyone do

i emailed this page to ian duncan smith mp and asking why is this being allowed when honest working people, disabled are treated with indifference and what is the government going to do about this farce

This story was on the Midland News this evening - the previous story was about a guy who has cancer and has been refused treatment due to cost

Any council should have a cap on the amount of children a family can claim for! if you have abouve three children then that is your own choice and we (the tax payer) should not foot the bill.
Having children has become a way to gain more money and securing away for young girls and women to get out of ever working again!
Yes raising kids is a job but it's a choice they take themselves! who wouldn't want a job in their own homes where they can watch TV all day long while doing every day things that we have to do as well as working for a living!
Dole-
In general i thing anyone, men or women who are on the dole (after 6 months unemployed) should be made to do unpaid work to earn their dole money and not take it as a free ride.
The council pays good money to employ people to clean graffiti and to sweep roads while dole scroungers who choose not to work in favour of playing the Xbox all day long sitting at out expense.
So get them to work in lower function jobs that are idiot proof and they will then realise that if they are being forced to work then they may as well just get a better paid job instead!
This will get them off their backsides and off the dole saving the tax payers the expense.
If they refuse then they can loose some if not all of their benifit money.
Points system-
I know this is going off the subject a bit but imagine if you was about to break the law but knew you would only get a smack on the wrist for doing it, the risk is low and and most would take the chance like speeding or littering!
My idea would be to give everyone "12 points" (like a driving liecence) and everytime you break the law even in the slightest then rarther than a fine for dropping litter you get points knocked off and not only would it be a larger fine that the individual fines once you reach "0 points" but as you get close to "0 points" it makes you realise that you are close and it starts to become a deterant to committing any crime or pay the hefty fine or worse in some cases.
Of course some crimes are worth more points than others and the extreme would take you beyond those points and off to jail but at the moment their is no deterant, they risks are low and no one feels the slap on the wrist anymore.
they only thing people fear now days is loosing something so if they a re given 12 points they eventualy over years will become protective of them and will feel that loosing them will be personal.
The benifits also maybe that shops, library's etc can judge the trust worthyness of someone by their online points score?
Every 6 months of NO law breaking could mean you earn 2 points to the max of 12 points possible to earn.
just think of it like driving points but not just for driving but for life.
Junior points could also be imlimented for youngsters and if they get to "0 ponts" the parents are fined! maybe this will make them finaly pull their kids into line and behave!

What do you think?

When working people get a job they then decide if they can afford to bring up children. If a person cannot support their children why do they just expect the tax payer to support them. Also people have become so dependant on benefits that they think it is their right to get it. She choose to have 11 children and thinks it is her god given right for everybody else to chip in and support them. She should be put in a 3 bed house and then find a job and save up to get a bigger house or get her older children to get jobs. They will go the same way as their mother because it is too easy to get other people to pay for them to live. The government encourages people to have kids/live separately from their husbands and never work because right now this category of people are better off not working.

You should only be supported if you have two children while unemployed. The council should only have up to 3 bedroomed properties and not supply anything bigger, you should be told that you have to share and squash up. No money, no bigger houses, lets see the child rate drop.
It sounds harsh but about 20 years ago I met a woman with two children who was pregnant with a third, she said that she had two more older children she couldn't cope with and they were in care, when I asked her why she continued to have children she replied, "my husband won't use contraception as he believes it takes his manhood away". The logic escapes me. Another woman I met said that she was having her third in order to get a bigger place. I moved out of London a little while after as I was fed up with that attitude. If you can get it then you will take it and people will always take. There are genuine people in trouble and they are hidden by a mass of scroungers and users. STOP giving money to people who have too many children, Stop giving them bigger houses. Some people really need to be snipped, sorry if thats harsh but I'm fed up with this country being over run by scroungers, I cant work 'cos I got a kid attitude, I need money for fags, I ain't got nothing to do so I go into the betting office, give me my money so I can buy the lottery tickets.

The government will cut disable and other peoples benefits, yet will allow people like this to take the P--s.
