C4 - 12 years old and running a family. - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

Another documentary on Channel 4 about a 12 year old running a family because both their parents are blind.

Her and her younger sister at 9 years old are runnig the family doing most of the work for the parents, yet the parents refuse to get help from workers because it's the whole pride thing where they don't want to feel as if they need help.

I really think it's stupid though, a 12 year old having to juggle taking care of the family and her school work etc.

Also the house itself is in a pretty messy state as well.

Well the kids should be be punished for not doing a proper job! [rolleyes]

Poor things sound like they need some help!
