All I know is that in this case 8 kids would NOT BE THERE to suffer if the 'poor' mother had exercised a little responsibility instead of indulging her stupid and selfish desire to breed children like flies JUST BECAUSE she KNOWS THAT SHE CAN DO UNDER THIS COUNTRY'S FECKED UP BENEFITS SYSTEM.

I don't entirely disagree with that but the moral thing to do would be to say "This can't happen ANY MORE", as in, make the 2 kid max only apply to children who are born AFTER the point that that is decided.
No, she shouldn't have had 8 kids believing the state would provide for them. If she had known it wouldn't you're right, she likely wouldn't have had so many. So the right thing to do is say to the generation growing up NOW, "you will only get extra money for up to two children". Because... and I don't mean to point out the obvious here... but in the cases where there are already multiple kids, it's sort of
too late. I mean you could try to stuff them back in but I'm not sure it would end well. And those kids who are ALREADY HERE and have done nothing wrong OTHER THAN BE BORN do not deserve to suffer for their parents' mistakes.
