My editor and I agreed on two major points. Firstly, that you need qualifications or licences to do pretty much anything, yet anyone can choose to have children. And some people just should not be allowed. If someone subjected a dog to this kind of abuse, they would be banned from keeping animals for life, yet I have read that the mother (who I won't name here, she's easy enough to find on Facebook) was pregnant while on remand with her fifth child - and as far as I am aware, no laws exist that could prevent her from becoming a mother again.
