'Young lady left in a studio flat with 2 little children'

Some might say she is lucky to get given any Council accommodation at all.

Where is/are the father/fathers of her children ?

If they do not think her accommodation suitable what are they doing to find and fund something that is ?

Are they providing for her financially ?

I concede that possibly the woman has been badly used by them and probably in reality not up to motherhood.

On the other hand she has to take some responsibility herself for the situation she finds herself in.

She has free will as well as numerous financial benefits for herself and the children.

For now it is 'the state' or in reality the rest of us that have to step in to look after her.

Is that part of the role of the 'welfare state' ?

Regarding all aspects of this story, I can just imagine what my late grandmother, widowed at 35 and left to bring up three daughters on the meagre 'assistance money' then available, supplemented by numerous cleaning jobs, would be saying !
