As I've mentioned I live in a more at-risk neighborhood, where many children live without both their mother and father in the home, and if so they're unmarried and technically dad lives somewhere else. Due to the practical reason that it doesn't pay in Massachusetts to be low-income and married, ultimately you lose out on benefits ranging to all forms of utilities from heat to internet connection.
I ran across this article in England proposing that mothers and fathers receive texts on parenting tips. Yes, I think it may be a good idea and very non-intrusive. Every week I receive an automatic phone call on school announcements from the principal of the local elementary school. She adds positive reminders on how to be a good parent. It's not a big deal!
Especially younger parents are more likely to utilize text as a form of communication, even myself have adjusted to texting. And yes, family structure for them is broken and at times very disorganized. Many conservatives may claim, this is the e nanny state, but any public policy the empowers a mother and father to parent their own child ultimately isn't nannying. It's the state giving up control, and reaffirming the obligation is of the parent to raise their children and their children have the right to have both mom and dad in their lives.
