Re: Aged 12 And Looking After the Family

It's not just the teachers though. Who looked after the babies after the birth if the mother is incapable of basic care? Were the midwives not a bit miffed at having to care for the babies? Surely the question would be asked "who's going to help you with the baby when you get home?" Did the midwives feel it was ok to send the babies home into the care of children?

The health visitors visit the home regularly, were they happy with the scene of young children being the main carers of younger siblings?
