I am just watching a programme on channel 4 (uk) about a 12 year old and a 9 yr old having to look after their 4 younger brothers as both of their parents are blind, i am totally disgusted at what i am seeing as these 2 girls do pratically everything, the house is filthy and the children are also filthy as if they dont get bathed the youngest is about 10 months old maybe younger, their food is take aways as the parents cannot cook, these poor girls also have to juggle an education, but what i dont understand is why on earth have the social workers not got involved, normally i would want so much for children to be with their parents but in this case they are not being well cared for, what makes things worse is the mother is again pregnant and the reason the parents want a large family is so that they have got more people to help when they are older. I think that they are very very selfish and that something needs to be done so that these children can have a life.
