Jacob, before there was welfare in NZ there was not much at all of those: <But it's just as likely, the children end up abandoned, becoming prostitutes, selling drugs for a living, or joining a gang and sticking a knife in your back to get your wallet. >

Now, after a few decades and a few generations of welfare, we now have an epidemic of each of those. Sticking a knife in my back would be justification for an execution in my book, as well as becoming an organ donor [organs sold at auction to the highest bidders].

PS There was some prostitution but that's as old as the hills. It's a lot more common now and I don't have a problem with people doing that [not that I'd advise it but I don't think it's my business how they handle payments in their relationships].
