Families Tsar Blames Mums For Broken Britain

Mothers should stop children to solve broken Britain, the Government's troubled families tsar says.

Mothers problem families should feel "ashamed" of they are damaging society and should stop getting pregnant, according a senior government adviser.

Louise Casey, the Prime Minister's families tsar, has said it is for the state to intervene.

She told the Daily Telegraph: "There are plenty of people have large families and function incredibly well, and luck to them, it must be lovely. The issue me, out of the families I have met, they are not functioning, lovely families.

" of the families I interviewed had six social care teams attached them: nine children, [and a] tenth the way. Something has to give here really."

There are 120,000 so- "problem families" in Britain, lives the Government hopes to turn around.

They cost the taxpayer estimated £9bn in benefits, crime, anti-social behaviour and health , and one fifth of them have more five children.

Ms Casey warns the state must start telling mothers with large families to "responsibility" and stop getting pregnant, often different, abusive men.

"The responsibility is as important coming off drugs, coming alcohol, getting a grip and getting the kids school," she said.

"So for some of those women job isn't to go and find yourself another violent, awful bloke you will bring a child into the with, to start the cycle all over ."

Ms Casey has tasked with turning around the lives of the 120,000 most dysfunctional families by 2015.

her initial report on the challenge the Government faces, compiled interviewing a dozen families, she painted a grim of generational dysfunction.
