The Ministry for Vulnerable Children should be knocking at those doors then, with a view to removing those children to a home where they will be fed, clothed, not overcrowded, get the health care they need, and be supported at school.

That would remove the burden from teachers, who are supposed to be there to teach. And from parents who are not caring properly for their children,
