Part of it is the casual attitude towards sex, and the unplanned pregnancies that result.
Add in the single mother, and absent daddy/sperm donor (In GA, 60+% of minority births are to unwed mommies).
Since no planning went into conceiving the kid, it wouldn't be expected that any planning/effort will go into raiising the kid.
And then add in the low wage govt. people in the Children Services Dept. who are under-trained, possibly over-worked, and useless.
As RR said, their is no easy answer, but there is a simply answer - no babies until you're married, you're employed, and you're housed.
