The literal Nanny State
A team of "supernannies" is to be sent to some of Britain’s most deprived areas to help parents control antisocial children, Tony Blair revealed today. The parenting experts will be sent to 77 areas with high levels of unruly behaviour, teenage pregnancies and truancy from school. The £4m scheme will also force the parents of disruptive children to attend parenting courses.
Should we laugh or cry? Not only is the British governement going to make the British public pay for these supernannies, but it will also force parents to attend parenting courses. This is not for the government to take care of. What’s next? Will the British government send out super pet-nannies in order to "help" people with their noisy, and oh so problematic pets?
