Quite right. The same with the truanting management. I know that mostly the issue there was parents not giving a stuff about their kids being out of school, but to punish the whole family (i.e. siblings etc.) for the sins of one child and/or the failings of a parent are hardly doing anything for families.
But it was a cheap way to get attention and joe average thought it was fair enough - since it wasn't going to affect him.
The same is true of all the wishy-washy ideas that the government puts forward for dealing with these social problems.
It would never occur to them to think that perhaps it is
they who have created the social climate that gave rise to these problems in the first place...
