Irresponsible Families To Be Monitored Round the Clock In UK

by Gopalan on July 28, 2009 at 10:22 AM Child Health News

The British government is to put the more irresponsible families under CCTV supervision in their homes – just to ensure their children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals. Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction, Children’s Secretary Ed Balls says.

As per the £400million plans announced, the problem families will be under 24-hour CCTV surveillance.

Around 2,000 families have already gone through such Family Intervention Projects so far. Now the government wants to bring 20,000 more of them under the ambitious scheme in the next two years, hoping that move will reduce the number of youngsters who get drawn into crime because of their chaotic family lives.

Family breakdown, child abuse and knife crimes are among the major concerns in the UK these days.

The media repeatedly highlights stories of neglected children, rotting in their own excrement, scrounging the bins for food, starving to death or even beaten to death by live-in partners of single moms.

The Labour government, in its last days, seems to be making a show of its determination to tackle the burgeoning crisis head on.

Mr. Balls said: “This is pretty tough and non-negotiable support for families to get to the root of the problem. There should be Family Intervention Projects in every local authority area because every area has families that need support.”

Makes Orwell's Big Brother look like an amateur. And Chris Grayling says "too little"? So glad civil liberties and privacy will be safe in Tory hands. Not.
