Social Services Charging Children for Services??? W.T.F.

http://uk.news.yahoo.com/children-may-charged-care-123033060.html#5clH9lP

I think that this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. A British county council is actually considering charging older children for the care they receive. I think it is absolutely disgraceful to charge older children for access to social care, and absolutely stupid to charge parents for the use of social care. Yes parents have responsibility for children, however social services already has a certain level of stigma attached to it, parents being supported by them already feel as though there looked down on as inadequate and if they are going to be charged for access to services then they will be even more reluctant to seek help.
