If we judge ourselves by how we treat our most vulnerable citizens, then ours is a failing nation.
There are 82,000 children in care in England. These are children the state has taken from parents deemed unable or unfit to care for them. They are now under the care of a corporate parent – the local authority, the state, you and I. And, as parents, we are doing a terrible job.
It's not just that these children don't go to good universities or earn as much as their
