Unfortunately, probably no amount of explaining, no matter how well said, can keep an abandoned child from feeling unwanted and from experiencing the longterm effects of that abandonment, especially when it's the mother that left them. Nevertheless, it's very important that a close, loving adult needs to explain the matter, as you obviously recognize, as best they can. You could start by explaining to the children that life is imperfect and that, in this imperfect world, people will disappoint us. Explain that, although, they may feel like they've done something to deserve her abandonment, it was not their fault, it has nothing to do with who they are and that the problem lies with their mother, not them. It's very important that this truth is stressed and understood. Finally, you can love them. Love them with all of your heart and all of your energy. Because it's going to take a lot of love and loyalty from someone very close to them to help ease the inevitable guilt and rejection they will feel.

Should a mother of four children who leaves and takes no part in the children's lives and refuses to pay child support be allowed to have more children?

Maybe the mother can only afford the ones she has now but the father can suppport the children she left behind for a better well-being. But it still does not give the mother the authority to leave the children. They still deserve the mother and father both togehter or a mother role model in the children's life. The new child should have the best life possible!! * From a moral standpoint, absolutely not. She has demonstrated her lack of concern for her children's emotional and physical welfare and therefore having more children would be immoral and irresponsible. From a legal standpoint, both parents are responsible for the financial care of their biological children. If the father and/or the state pursue child abandonment and/or non support charges she could be arrested, stand trial and be incarcerated and/or fined she would definitely be ordered by the court to financially support her children.
