This week: A Proper Little Mother to Them All
They are cases we read about all too often: the domestic tragedies in which an elder sister has to take over the role of mother to a home and family. When the mother of a young family dies or goes away the children are normally split up, cared for in institutions or separate foster-homes. But sometimes the eldest girl steps in. frequently the girl is little more than a child herself, but if she is willing and courageous enough the authorities may back her attempt, support her desire to stop the family being split.
