Aged 12 And Looking After the Family

seen this last night on channal 4, 12 year old Louise and 9 year old Jenny who between them look after their four young brothers day in, day out, because their parents are blind and disabled.
But the documentary took a darker turn when it came out that Jenny tried to commit suicide by putting a black plastic bag over her head when she was 8 because the strain had got too much for her.

I felt really sorry for them, a child should not take the responsibilty of what a adult should be doing, whether they are disabled or not!

what do you lot think?
