It's no accident that an English woman left her 10-year-old son and some of his school friends on the steps of 10 Downing Street in London, which serves as the home of the United Kingdom's prime minister.
Jess Phillips, who represents that Labour Party as a member of Parliament, explained that leaving her son at No. 10 was an act of protest against some English schools cutting half a day on Fridays in an effort to stay within tightening budget constraints.
"The government has a responsibility to be looking after our children for at least five days a week," she told Sky News and further suggested that Prime Minister Theresa May was at least partially to blame. "It's Theresa May's and the government's responsibility to educate my children and all the children in the country for five days a week, and she has failed."

If she thinks it's right to use her own child- and better yet, other people's kids- as a pawn to protest, I cannot imagine who or what type of parent she is. Try protesting another way, or find ways to cut other things in the budget.
Your child = your responsibility. Period.
