Mummy is Watching Over Us: 17-Year-Old COVID Orphan is Now a Parent to Her Siblings | The Quint
Seventeen-year-old Anushka Satya and her two siblings lost both their parents in April this year during the COVID-19 second wave. Life has changed drastically for them ever since. But as Anushka braves each day with an aim to turn things around in the future, she is a victim of societal pressure and sexist stigmas.

This video was devastating to watch. For some of us, the second Covid restriction was just a temporary restriction on going outdoors. For others, it swept everything away.

What kind of a sick society are we that we are unwilling to help out a 17-year old, that we force her to become mom and dad to her siblings, and over and above that we abuse and judge her for taking those responsibilities seriously? No 17-year old should EVER have to listen to such sick accusations about being in an affair/running away or worse that she is happy her parents are dead just so she can have her freedom.
