[West Ender]

I only saw a little of last night's programme but the woman came across as completely stupid and selfish. She had no idea of trying to help herself or do anything for herself and she just looked on her children as insurance for her future. She had no interest in their welfare whatsoever and just left the little ones to rot until the older ones came home. She and her husband didn't talk to them or play with them, they didn't even change nappies, not that difficult even if you can't see provided you have everything in order. The couple didn't seem to have much difficulty finding their cigarettes and beer cans.

Social Services jumped in and took well cared for children from their homes when ridiculous allegations of Satanic rites were made, some years ago, but they leave little ones in a home like that. It defies common sense.
