Kids are raised without the influence of parents and family; and two parents are better than one. When kids start out without good parents there's no amount of social services that can make up for it. It's just a bunch of money thrown at the problems to assuage the guilt of society.
There will always be a few kids that make it but the odds are overwhelmingly against them.
