Unfair on a single mother

Saturday 8th November 2008, 9:55AM GMT.

From Teresa Hughes.
IS it appropriate to impose a probation order on a single mother (JEP, 3 November) who is clearly having immense difficulties rearing three children?

I believe that educative intervention, support and guidance are required here, not punitive measures through a court of law.
