    My mom is blind and has three children. I am the eldest. I was NEVER made to take care of my siblings, except for of course the occasional date night babysitting or what have you when I was 14 and older. She simply got creative - put different textured stickers and velcro on appliances to tell the buttons apart; arranged the house in a certain way and we all knew not to rearrange it so she knew how to get around safely. She would take taxis to our school functions or have neighbors take us places we needed to go. My mom was the most involved, loving, and attentive parent we could ever ask for.
    Blindness is not an excuse for doing this to your children...

      Yes, a blind parent can be just as good a parent as a seeing one. Of course there might be the occasional question about something that needs to be seen not felt or so but for most of the time they can do stuff just as well as seeing people :) You mom is a great example of that.

      Simply put these are two people who had NO BUSINESS having children... maybe ONE that they were CAPABLE of caring for... but 7 kids?????????? No....... They have children simply to take care of the other kids they already can not care for.... They CLAIM they "... can do it and care for them..."??????? THEY (meaning the parents) are NOT caring for the children..... their older two children are taking care of the 5 youngest....... I agree they should be taken in to care and the two older girls should be finally permitted to have a NORMAL childhood for what is left of it and what their parents have not already stolen from them......

Probably just to make her son feel guilty. I have fibromyalgia and a lot more and live a normal life regardless of the pain and chronic fatigue. The blind (?) Parents to have a child try to kill herself because this lifestyle and the oldest never wanting children is criminal. What these greedy people have taken from their children.

I felt so badly for him as well. All these children are bloody slaves in my opinion. I wonder what happened to the teenager if he wanted to go to university?

Blind parents take care of their children every day and fight against being seen like these people. Their children are clean, fed, and well cared for…by their PARENTS. They could do more, but it’s easier to pick up a beer and a smoke and wait for the girls to do it all. These people are pathetic.

      This is exactly why I wasn't surprised the eldest didn't like hugs or cuddles, it wasn't that she didn't like or care for them it's that she never received them. I'm curious how she survived honestly. She said they told her at 3 about the blindness and her needing to help but I'm betting she was helping and probably doing most things for herself before then and that's absolutely heartbreaking to me. She has never had a chance to even be a kid.

It's normal for siblings to not get along now and again but the way she is with her sister who co-parents and when she says she's not a cuddly person...

Because she’s not as bubbly and cute and has lashed out at the other kids stemming obviously from her own depression and unbearable burdens and a complete lack of even ONE person loving or hugging her. How could she ever be normal. “Smiling” when she’s talking about her sisters attempt and saying she doesn’t care is a coping strategy and and trying to mask fear and anxiety. She was also Jenny’s age a couple years before and nobody said “ poor girl I want to rescue her” then either. A hopeless child is a child who can not mature emotionally or develop properly. Don’t blame her for that. She most of all needs intervention because she has suffered the most.

    ”The parents are fiercely independent and refuse to accept help” - clearly they are not fiercely independent if they need to rely so heavily on a 9-year-old and a 12-year-old! Forcing your kids to do your work for you is not being independent, it is being irresponsible. They should make sure to get outside help so that the kids can be kids. The two older ones should be able to be regular big sisters to their younger siblings and help out, but they shouldn't have to take on parental responsibility.

      A lot of blind people are able to take care of their own children.. this is disappointing that this show would film this but not take action.. these children deserve better. Child services should be contacted if the parents are unable to take care of the children. They can help find resources to help the family. And if the parents aren’t willing to put the work in then they will find someone who is willing to care for these kids.

    Paul: Jenny was at risk of losing her place as a "young carer" if she didn't help out.
    The whole reason Jenny stopped helping and even attempted SUICIDE was because she was sick to death of being a young carer. At 8 years old she didn't care about the 2 hours a week of play, she needed to be allowed to be a kid every day. I can't believe her father was confused about that. Or maybe he intentionally overlooked it so he wouldn't have to face the reality that he was abusing and neglecting his girls.

That doesn’t happen over a seven day period of filming. I have seven children and our house can’t get that bad that fast. On top of that even the baby turns to Jenny for everything. He doesn’t bother seeking attention, comfort or any of his other needs from his parents, only his sisters and Jenny is the one he turns to most.

    I wonder if Jenny’s suicide attempt was motivated by her unreasonable load of responsibilities, her lack of positive attention from her parents and older sister, and I wonder if she noticed how much loving attention her brother Shane receives from the grave and thought that she might be remembered in respect and love more dead than alive. The whole family seems numb to true emotions. Poor Jenny. Poor children.

      I agree. Jenny may be the only one who feels emotion. They all seem just to be existing, no real purpose in life - just have more children, more people who will care for them. They don't seem to care a lot about their children, though they are happy when they do well in school and such. Their existence is so surreal to me. Like a pauper's life - the life of a serf.

      I guarantee this family is getting a ton of money for all of those kids, and because they are obviously disabled enough to get social security. So, why not just hire someone to help them? The kids are already here, and removing them from their family would do more damage than good. Our tax dollars are already taking care of them, so why not hire a nanny or something similar? That is what is desperately needed here.

    All of these commenters who are talking about the older daughter being "evil" are ridiculous. She's struggling and depressed. Her friend and neighbor who she referred to as "kind" committed suicide and she admits to not having friends in the neighborhood. She is the oldest, and has to be the most responsible. There is no one to give her the protection, affection or childhood that she deserves. She may feel resentful or scared of her younger sisters ability to be innocent and loving, but that doesn't make her "evil" or a "sociopath". Please show each other, and most especially our children the compassion that they need.

    For anyone looking for an update:
    Child services received over 30 calls the evening that this show originally aired on TV in the UK and the family was investigated, but I cannot find any follow up on that and what came of it. The parents were also harassed after the show aired and their home was vandalized multiple times. They refused to take any responsibility and say that the documentary portrayed them unfairly (go figure 🙄).
    Louise is active on social media and seems to be doing relatively well. She has several dogs that she dottes on, as well as several cats. Seems to spend a lot of time in nature with the doggos. I imagine that the animals fill a void of love and affection that she didn't receive from her parents and family :/ that's just my speculation though. There are also some sad posts about wanting to be dead, feeling alone and unloved :( they're few and far between but it's heartbreaking because you know her upbringing was rough and emotionally neglectful :( I hope she finds happiness.
    Jenny is less active on social media but she is employed, seems happy, and has a small daughter who looks happy, healthy and clean. All of her and Louise's photos are either in a clean and well kept house or outside. Don't know who's house but I'm glad they're out of the dirty and run down house from this documentary.
