It's pretty sad really. Not only is the woman so messed up that there is a presumption that she will automatically be an unfit parent, but to add to her troubles she has run across this bunch of idiots advising the most useless things to make matters worse for her.
Yes, it's very sad. Her Facebook page is a child-like display of new boyfriends and new babies. This time it's going to be different, but it never is. Living on the notoriously horrible Paulsgrove Estate in Portsmouth is bad enough, but she has no skills, qualifications or talents. She posts pictures and videos of beautiful celebrities enjoying the dolce vita, which is forever beyond her grasp. The one thing within her options that could be meaningful and transcendental would be to raise smart, successful kids who would fill her life with pride and purpose. And she evidently lacks the self discipline and foresight to do that.
I am not mocking, I genuinely think it's a tragedy for human potential to be thus wasted. And we have hundreds of these estates (US Trans: projects) packed with surplus people. Gipton in Leeds, or recently mentioned Bransholme in Hull. Millions of people who were capable of unskilled labour or factory work, who once had pride, purpose and community, just rotting away in vast welfare reservations. It would be more humane to turn them into Soylent Green, I think.
