20000 UK Families CCTV Govt Monitored in Home

www.express.co.uk The Childrens Secretary set out £400million plans to put 20000 problem families under 24-hour CCTV super-vision in their own homes. They will be monitored to ensure that children attend school, go to bed on time and eat proper meals. Private security guards will also be sent round to carry out home checks, while parents will be given help to combat drug and alcohol addiction. Around 2000 families have gone through these Family Intervention Projects so far. But ministers want to target 20000 more in the next two years, with each costing between £5000 and £20000 a potential total bill of £400million. Ministers hope the move will reduce the number of youngsters who get drawn into crime because of their chaotic family lives, as portrayed in Channel 4 comedy drama Shameless. Sin bin projects operate in half of council areas already but Mr Balls wants every local authority to fund them. He said: This is pretty tough and non-negotiable support for families to get to the root of the problem. There should be Family Intervention Projects in every local authority area because every area has families that need support. But Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: This is all much too little, much too late. This Government has been in power for more than a decade during which time anti-social behaviour, family breakdown and problems like alcohol abuse and truancy have just got worse and worse.
