"There is no need for tax payers to fork out for up to 16 years for other people's children when the mums can easily go back to work (at least part time depending on their situation) when the child starts school at the age of 5 unless they are still in education themselves."
With most of the loony petitions - see the one entitled "Corporal and Capital Punishment", for example - you can sort of see where they're coming from. Or one can say "Pah, someone's reading the Daily Mail too much!" But this ... I've heard of these anti-children people; certainly I know I've "met" some people online who think all children should be kept well away from them. But to go this far? Where are they coming from? What sort of society do they want to live in? One assumes the petitioner would also object to, oh, VAT not being charged on children's clothes, for example. It's just ... strange to the point of incomprehensible. To me, anyway.
