It’s the job of the church to care for the poor, and any individual can step up any time to help someone they see in need.
There have been wayward children through out human history. Life is not all rainbows and ponies for everybody, but it is NOT the government’s job or responsibility to take that on and rob other people to do it. It worsens the problems.
Help the people out yourself. That will do more to fix the problem than just giving handouts and creating entitlement mentality. You do not understand what a motivating factor having to be on your own can be to take care of your own.
Parents get this mentality because they are told that if they won’t/don’t do it, someone else will step up to the plate for them. They are bailed out and it worsens the problem.
There’s nothing wrong with overcoming adversity.
Not everybody wants to overcome adversity. Some are quite content to watch their children die.
Are you prepared to watch children die?
