To be fed up of single parents being blamed for killings?

One of the reasons given for the London killings recently are 'broken homes'.
On the bbc website it cites single parents ( mostly mums) are working 16/17 hour days so cant parent properly.

Why is this exactly? Well cuts don't gelp...If tax credits were more generous then single parents could do an 8 hour day instead.

And what about absent parents? There is no doubt that positive male role models are important but why are there so few?
Why do dads head off and leave women alone to bring up kids? Society dosn't make them accountable.. far easier to blame the women for being unable to hold it all together.
So why so few male role midels? answers on a poatcard please!
Violent video games?
Sexist music/porn/ culture?

There are a lot of complicated factors but the most glaring one is that this government has reduced the police force by over 20,000.

It’s easier to blame ‘single mums’ then for politicians to take responsibility.

Seems par for the course. It’s always ‘benefits mums’ to blame. First for not working, then for working too much. I surprised this government hasn’t blamed single mums for the recent snowstorms.
