But then, we wouldn't want to call these incompotent nincompoops to task for their criminal neglect of their own children, would we?

These "nincompoops" do not need the criminal prosecution. They need some basic compulsory training - what to buy, where to buy, how to cook or prepare, how to eat.

They didn't seem to need any training to get pregnant.

The problem is not "training" or lack thereof. It's the fact they are irresponsible louts, at best!

In other words, we need to teach them the basics of life, and how to fend for themselves. Wait a minute, I have a solution...what they need are more social programs, that'll help I'm sure.

I do agree with you, but it is sad that they didn't learn this from their family while they were growing up, but with the breakup of the fmaily somebody has to fill that vacuum and you end up having society take care of what the family should have a long time ago.
