Agreed. And, there is a lot of dishonesty when it comes to how childcare money is spent. Case in point: My parents received about 100000 EUR in disability care money over the 14 years I was living at home. In that time, my family didn't go on a single holiday trip or anything like that. While I wasn't treated poorly, I also never saw any of that disability money used towards me. The truth is, my father spent it all for alcohol and things I probably dont want to know. And nobody ever evaluated if the money was spent on me. There is a lot to do when it comes to regulating how parents receive funding from the general public. Another case in point: Someone we know is having their third child with the third father, and openly admits she does this so she can live off the childcare money. She doesn't particular care for her children, they are partly shoved off to her grandmother. She uses her cildren as a source of income. And she is not alone.
