Childcare

This commentary "Free Child Care" talks about giving aid to those who struggle to raise a child. I think that childcare should be free for struggling parents, but where do we draw the line at? Do only struggling parents get it? Do they have to be young and in school or do can they be older parents too? Do they even need to be struggling parent or parents?
This is something things that need to be decided because they will come up later on if free child care is to be implemented. I think that it should apply to all parents that do not meet the basic needs to raise a child, those needs being, food, shelter, and clothes.  If take in that most parents having children now is kids themselves then it would be of benefit to have free childcare for younger parents. This will decrease the number of abandoned kids, the number of runaway kids, and the number of kids who have to drop out of school to raise their child.
