with John Harrison The Care Bearers
Eleven- year-old Adele [text removed] is Britain's Most Caring Child. Each night, and all weekend, she is solely responsible for her disabled mother. She feeds her, dresses her, takes her to the toilet, and puts her to bed. When her mother wakes at night, Adele gets up to turn her over. She's been doing this since she was 6. She is one among many children whose dedication we applaud, but whose predicament we ignore.
Gerry Northam reports, and asks, who cares for the kids who care?
