sometimes those who should be helping - dont.
Myself & the missus take in teenagers (16+) who have nowehere to live (either come up through the care system and are now to old, can't live with family or whatever). This system is partially funded by income support. A few years ago, one of them was a 16 year old boy. He was going to school (part of the condition of being in this scheme is they must be in education or working). During the summer holidays we suggested he gets himself a holiday job (newpsaper round/mcdonalds). He mentioned this to his care worker who then told him not to do that as he would lose his benefits!!!! What a life lesson that was.
