Well, with children it is a difficult choice. Do you punish the children for the sins of their parents? A 5 year old should be punished with major 'lacks' in education, food, shelter because his mother made a poor choice?

And usually when we ignore those children the chances that they just repeat the cycle are pretty high.

It is a very difficult problem, I would rather not have small children suffer - but maybe that is your solution sammy?
