I FULLY agree with the Social Service star rating. Why is it always the council's fault when parents aacannot look after their children?

It is unbelievable that a parent who brings their child up not to respect others and have the right standards is quick to blame someone else when the child comes undone from their own actions.

What we should be asking is why was your child the way they were and what can we learn from their failings and should we be taking legal action against them for lack of duty of care that as allowed their child to end up the way they did.
