Of course it isn't and they're a slightly different part of the same problem. Feckless parents who have kids then don't look after them. We're not talking here about people who fall ill or are subject to unforeseen circumstances after having children, but those who have children and keep on having them even when they can't cope and clearly don't even try.
What to do about these people ultimately has to be decided by govt. but we have to face up to the reality that unless something is done the situation will get worse and children will suffer. Education has to be part of the solution but that's obviously a long term process and whatever else has to be done will have to balance the need to be tough on the parents with trying to protect their unfortunate offspring.
