In New York they welfare queens even have a name for it. It is called crazy money. I worked on some new schools a few years back and almost half the school was “special ED” to take care of the kids getting crazy money. The parents told the kids to act up so they could get their raise from the dole. Back then there was no requirement you do anything, I guess now you have to buy drugs.

So the unfunded mandate that comes down from the state requiring towns to provide special ed when as little as a single kid has 'issues' and here in Connecticut costs the town property owners 100K a year is linked to incentive programs in which entitlement minded 'families' apply for 'crazy money'.

Isn't Socialism great. /s

So the schools get more money too. Wow, what a system to intentially cause psychological/emotional harm on a child by having him labeled ‘crazy’ his whole life.
