Poor kids that aweful

Those poor kids ! I hope the get taken away from him and find a loving family to look after them

that man should lose his children permanently. Some people should not have kids.

Well the headline fir this story was a bit misleading. Yeah he was jailed, but for more serious issues then just feeding the kids cake and Coke. Sounds like yet another person who should never have become a parent

I hope these children have a better upbringing in the foster system than the introduction to life provided by this parent

Dad needs help mentally. Poor family are better away from him. Hope the kids are okay.

If that really was all then it is very negligent.

Hope the two boys will be okay. Even if the Dad can’t read, write or count is no excuse to spend all the welfare money on alcohol and not feed the family.

Very sad but a little strange – Coke’s not cheap. Surely if he’d spent all the money he’d just make them drink free water out of the tap!

So he was jailed for the coke and cake as much as the general severe neglect?

Those poor children I hope they are in a much better situation now and are able to move on from this.

A terrible situation for the family and glad the children are now getting care and nutrition. No mention of mum and the violence she endured? A family that need support and care for sure.

I don’t think a jail sentence is the right consequence, removing the children from his care is.
Some people are unable to parent due to their own problems. Lack of education might also indicate this man is not the smartest, what makes him more prone to alcohol misuse.

A very horrible situation all round – both for the father and his children and quite probably the mother of his children.

  It is a dreadful situation and communities need to be more alert and aware of these things early on – early intervention is critical.

How sad for those poor children. But i also feel for the father having never been educated and having no idea how to look after them properly.

Good that they caught him and kids no longer have to suffer

What a terrible experience for these kids. So malnourished. The father surely showed little consideration for them.
