"Spoilt Rotten" BBC Panorama

[Dedworth]

Shocking programme showing Liverpool kids with preventable conditions at Alder Hey Childrens Hospital - by preventable they mean conditions allowed to prevail by their moronic parents eg a 5 year old boy weighing 65kg........ pig ignorant mother reckons it is genetic rather than junk food diet and lack of exercise.

"McCauley" who has an ASBO at 13 necking half a bottle of vodka a day, kids ear tubes blocked by their parents heavy smoking, 16 year old girl weighing 200kg, 3yr old having 9 milk teeth pulled out

It is disgusting costing NHS money because of these neanderthal parents most of whom should be put down.

It's scary what's happening to some kids in the UK. The benefits culture and consumerism has spawned some right brats. I'm sure a lot of mental illness and depression is down to people having had pampered childhoods, then finding the reality of adulthood - and having to stand on their own two feet - isn't a bed of roses.

Sounds more like abuse than pampering

IMO, a lot of the blame can be laid at the doors of too many working mums ... leaving young kids free to roam the streets after school - then feeding them ready-made junk-foods at teatime - following which, they're allowed still more liberty to watch totally unsuitable and inane programmes on television.

sounds like you've been spying on me

you cant blame the moms for working Arthur, many dont have a choice they have to work to pay the bills

many dont have a choice they have to work to pay the bills

Although that's true in a lot of cases, for many its all about the lifestyle. They want the big house, 2 cars, nice holidays and to keep up with the Joneses. A lot of these working mothers could easily downgrade and stay at home.

In Manchester and Liverpool, lots of mums have to leave their kids in nursery before going to school....

Perhaps true Arthur, but in todays world it is rare that you can have just one parent working and the other at home. The £ just isn't worth what it used to be

* ... but in bygone days, wages were infinitesimally small by comparison - yet fewer married women with kids felt the need to go out to work - and there seemed to be more contentment all round.
