Who cares?

A quarter of girls in care have been pregnant by the time they leave. Half become single mothers - a viable career option - within just two years.
Some 50% of prisoners under 25 have been through the care system. One third of the homeless are products of our care system.
Half of the 6,000 who leave care annually, usually aged 16, are longterm unemployed within two years.

The liberal left have enjoyed absolute control over the downgrading of discipline in favour of untried and absurd politically correct ideas. This is a measure of their success.

A friend of mine who did occasional night shifts in Sheffield care homes spoke of appalling atmospheres where literally, yobs were in control as there were no realistic disciplinary measures whatsoever. If thirteen year olds wanted to go out onto the streets at midnight, nothing could stop them. They knew that staff were not allowed to physically prevent them and of course, they could not be locked in as that was the equivalent of 'pin down' and a 'Health and Safety Issue'. (Youngsters prowling the streets is of course, NOT a safety issue!) Consequently, the yob element began to demonstrate power, other children had to follow. Result? - Disaster! I do not even want to discuss matters such as drugs and prostitution! Failure in school is more than double that of the rest of the population.
What of Christian input? What of letting these children know that God loves them?
"Good gracious me, never! It is morally detestable to indoctrinate these poor children with religion. Typical of these Christians wanting to get their hands on the vulnerable!"
Frankly - I despair of the sick world we inhabit.
