Couple Paid £7,000 a Month in Benefits While the Children Were Left in Squalor

In the News

This is such a sad story and part of the reason why the UK is in the state it is in

These pair of wasters had 8 kids to enable themselves to claim £84,000 a year in benefits but left the children in squalor, unwashed ,in poor health, all had rotten teeth and were uneducated , not even knowing how to use a knife and fork

That was not the worst of it, they had 35 dogs crammed in the three bedroomed house with faeces smeared all over the place , and one seven-year-old child was found covered in animal faeces sitting near a dead dog

So much for social sevices

What amazes me is how they got £7,000 a month in benefits. Those 35 dogs were they used for breeding to make them more money ??? I feel sorry for the children who were living in all that squalor and the parents should be locked up.

I thought this was why the child benefit cap had been brought in? To stop people abusing the system. Its sad as the cap has resulted in thousands of families going into poverty. Its horrendous that no one dealt with the situation sooner. 35 dogs and children sounds like a dangerous situation in itself.

It annoys me how many people get paid on benefits and how much they're given. I work by butt off and can't afford to take kids on holiday but someone I know can afford to spend more than £4k on a week's holiday and they claim child benefit, universal credit and get a grand a month cash in hand work. They get rent and everything else paid for.

ChelsieLou90 Newly arrived "undocumented" persons in the U.K. get a VIP treatment while the elderly and homeless are completely forgotten about.

The U.K. is taking "undocumented" persons at a very fast rate daily and it's very concerning since it's only going to get worse.

U.S. has 1.9 million cases of "undocumented" persons. Almost 2 million... Countries (mainly Western) are bound to get overpopulated while others may be deserted.

Surely there should have been home visits by some department dealing with their benefit claims especially as they were being paid £7K.

No idea how someone would receive that level of benefits but it probably does show they have some mental issues to live like that.

Howmuch I can understand him maybe not being 'normal ' just looking at him, but i would have thought that she would have been a bit more intelligent having been a dance teacher

Saying that i dont know what qualifications are needed for this, and i suppose anyone can suffer mental issues , but what they did was beyond that , just evil

telmel I am not to sure intelligence is required to be a dance teacher, nothing against dance teachers. My daughters dance teacher looked exactly like a Barbie doll, it was a little unnerving.

Police, social services, immigration, justice... It's all falling apart.

2023 and 2024 don't look very promising.
