It is a very sad piece to read
But truth be told, we are all living on the edge. There is no long term security anymore and we are unable to give our children that same level of upbringing that our parents provided for us. Even if you live in a country which provides free health care and/or some kind of benefits there is always the worry of slipping on the financial ladder and not being able to provide to our kids with all their needs

Very sad state of affairs. Some of the things mentioned in this article though have less to do with poverty in the monetary sense, than neglect of normal parental duties.

Quite a distressful situation to be in especially when children are neglected.

This is very interesting, but extremely sad and disturbing. In this modern world it should not be so.
