Some of them very definitely are which is why they get taken to court, found guilty, fined and/or imprisoned. Those who cynically exploit the rules to their own advantage and have kids purely as a route to additional benefits, housing etc. are almost as bad.

Doing what you suggest and letting them get on with it doesn't achieve anything but simply gives them the green light to carry on. Doing something about benefit abuse is why so many people (including non Tory supporters) voted for a government which is at least trying to tackle the problem.
