This week: Mothers to Blame?
Mothers bringing up their children on Social Security, without husbands, find many things to complain of. They do not know their rights, or what help is available to them; they are watched and spied upon; they feel that society resents having to support them. Deserted mothers feel they are treated differently from widows, who get their money as of right.
Four women tell their stories to Jim Douglas Henry; and in the studio Desmond Wilcox discusses with Social Security officers, Prof Peter Townsend and the mothers themselves what needs to be done.
