Well, this is interesting.
Wikinews: New South Wales to introduce ‘parenting contracts’
Parents would be forced to sign the contracts by the children’s court. They could require parents to attend parenting classes, undergo counselling, stop drug use or stop consuming excessive amounts of alcohol depending on the situation. The NSW Deparment of Community Services would be allowed to apply to the court for the contracts to be drawn up.
If parents failed to comply with the contracts their children would be removed by authorities.
I want to know how this turns out.
