Children and family minister Kevin Brennan said: "It's a sad fact of substance misuse that grandparents often step in to pick up the pieces.
"This measure will include things like making it easier for them to obtain special guardianship orders and for local authorities to be able to pay money to grandparents, which can only happen in exceptional cases at the moment."
So rather than tackle the drugs problem head on, this misguided bunch of clowns is going to hand out our money to Granny and Grandad.
You could'nt make it up.

RATHER THAN LEAVE THE PROBLEM TO GRANNY AND GRANDAD WHICH WON'T DO ANYTHING THEY SHOULD EMPLOY A NEW DRUGS TZAR LIKE KEITH HALLIWELL, MAYBE HE IS STILL AROUND, HAVE YOU HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT HIM LATELY? MORE REHAB/ TREATMENT CENTRES RATHER THAN PRISON SENTENCES.
