The young familes of Great Britain have a wonderful example of parenthood.

This is not a minor issue for the UK. It was a few years ago when their children were listed among those that lived in deprivation according to the United Nations. The USA should not believe it is exonerated. I think the ratings of the two allies were very close together.





The government (click here) is considering whether to introduce a new offence of emotional cruelty to children, it has been confirmed.
The proposed change to neglect laws in England and Wales would see parents who deny their children affection face prosecution for the first time.
It follows a campaign for a "Cinderella Law" from charity Action for Children.
The government said child cruelty was an abhorrent crime which should be punished.
Social workers have a definition of child cruelty that they work on but because it is not written into law, this makes it difficult for the police to gather evidence....

This is it.

This was 2007.  

The USA and the UK were numbers 20 and 21 out of a ranking of 21 countries. That is not good, especially when education is under attack in the USA and it's military budget is larger than all others in the world added together.
