Parents warned that ill-fitting shoes can damage children

Apparently, parents should be making sure their chidren's shoes fit properly, and have their feet measured regularly - as children are, allegedly, *growing*.

Parenting licence. You know it makes sense...

Lovely idea, but how do you implement it?

The problem with a parenting licence would be how it would be enforced. I really couldn't approve of forced abortion or adoption. I know people who advocate contraception in the water supply, with some sort of antidote (because of course they exist!) being given out to the grateful recipient of the licence. Even if this were to be technically possible and potential problems with people daring to go on holiday could be dealt with, just imagine the problems with side effects!

I wish there would be some way that parents could be forced into having some sort of coaching - perhaps withholding of benefits if they don't attend?
