I'm sure it's possible that there are other reasons a single mother could be raising two kids. I mean, 'slut' is just one of many avenues to explore, isn't it?
I'm not surprised by what I've seen so far in this thread. We live in a country of cynics. Not that that isn't a good thing, but it's important to remember that unwavering cynicism is just as dangerous as blind optimism. And you're right, we don't hear the 'good' stories too often. It doesn't mean that they aren't out there it just means that bad news travels farther, faster.
Personally, I totally agree, the system isn't perfect. It's too easy to abuse, there's very little oversight, and all that jazz, but despite it's current 'unperfect' state, the system does do some good. And as long as it continues to give aid to those that need it, I'll gladly support it, even if it means giving aid to those that abuse it.
