When I was 8 years old my father got ill. He lost his ability to work, lost his business, and eventually we lost our house and ended up in social housing. Then three years later, when I was 11 years old, my father died leaving my mother with 3 kids to raise and no income.

If the two child benefit cap was in place then, we would have been in food poverty in one of the richest nations on earth.

Not every situation is as mind numbingly simple as you paint it. Most people don’t have additional children in an attempt to game the system. That’s a moronic point of view.

Your situation is obviously tragic and very rare. I don't think anybody claimed that gaming of the system was at work.
