Don't forget
Send the cost for the cider cans to their family. Possibly a little extreme.
Tazman has a point in a way. Make benefits dependant on naming the father, bill him for the benefits ala CSA - obviously using private bailiffs, AIUI the CSA couldn't find any part of their anatomy with a torch & map.
Make sure the parents & father are responsible for any costs up till the girls 18th birthday, after that offer the girls a room in a workhouse inspired hostel and continue billing the father.
We shouldn't reward inconsiderate breeding that expects everyone else to fund them. I know of 3 that are entirely funded by the state in my wife's circle of friends , when they want to move up the housing list they just create another sprog. Sometimes they even use the same sperm donor.
My little brother has a two bedroom flat that he rents out in a reasonable area of London, the local authority have rented it for a succession of young mothers on the social, however once they pop another sprog they have to upgraded to a house, happened twice so far.
Compare that to the couple with 2 jobs each, he is a baggage handler by day and a doorman at night, she does cleaning & childcare. They were living with 4 children (she is catholic) and a lodger (who for various very sad reasons isn't paying rent) struggling to afford a 3 bed semi.
After all its only fair.Comment

You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
