A mythological payment which is supposed to be paid to
single mothers (now known as double mothers ) to alleviate the full financial burden of raising kids as well as looking after them. The UK's child support agency has spent billions of pounds of
tax payers'
money trying to prove the existance of this elusive payment, by asking the absent parent to supply it. However hardly any payments have been located by this multi-million pound organisation. This evidence suggests that
child support is a mythological beast, concocted by a bored civil servant on a grey rainly English
afternoon to tempt women into reckless procreation so that the media could have a bit of a laugh at their expense by painting them as morally inferior when they ended up poor and overworked.
