If the parents are considered good enough to raise the baby (despite being told no earlier) then fines/community service or other things that will punish the parents but not the child. If the parents are violent criminals then the child should be taken in to custody and the parents given jail time. Being raised in a foster home is better than having parents like that.
Again it comes down to "who chooses" and "what's the details" then.
Violent criminals? Which violence? Someone who hit someone in a pub? How about innocent people jailed? Are you saying that "do your time" isn't enough anymore? And so forth. Explanation needed.
Now then, as promised;
1: Send every household a pack of condoms via government funding. Take that from, say, absolutely minimal tax increase to this and that that people won't even notice. Would help reduce STDs, lower healthcare costs, lower accidental kids etc. Also free condoms in bars would do a TON of good.
2: Take money off non-community things, like military, and set that to better education to kids(eliminate crime and teen pregnancies). Hell, use a p*ssytroll approach if they don't believe anything else.
3: Bring in better criminal rehabilitation assets. Use the military as a workforce for them, per example. Make it easier for them to return to normal life.
