Haha, in related news:I'm loving this story over at the Guardian in which a well-off father of five complains that he needs that child benefit money to take his kids to football practice and McDonald's.

Don't the Chinese have a similar system? You get benefit for your first sprog, but they take it away if you have more.
IIRC it was intended to control population growth, but the end result is more backstreet abortions.

Not exactlyYou get allowed a first child but you have to scrap any subsequent children, or do you pick your favourite, I don't know how it works.

I once read that they leave sickly or unwanted (usually girl) children in the woods to die.Could be apocryphal, could be true.
