Poverty Rising in the Recession creating Unfit Parents

Although UNICEF does a lot to help children around the world. They reality of poverty is right in our own back yard. After reading the article  The recession’s toll on children written by Novotney, A. in 2010. I felt a little bit of controversy arise in my thought process. In my opinion not only was the implication of the poor being unfit to educate their children but that the fact that those new to poverty have deemed their children to failure in life. I believe the reason why this struck a nerve in me was because I am not the most fortunate parent. However, education is something I provide in consistency to my child. I am also new to the world of single parenting so for the thought  of someone telling me I am now inadequate and have deemed my child to failure stuck a knife in my heart. With politicians being the decision makers and determining who receives funds, where, how and when; I see no other way but to make a way. With the turning of the economy and the recession continuing to rise it is survival of the fittest out here and I am a survivor.
