The young carers coping in lockdown
For hundreds of thousands of young carers in the UK, the pandemic has been especially hard. Many have been dealing with increased caring responsibilities during lockdown, juggling that with home-schooling and the absence of the usual support networks. We spoke to some young carers about their life during the pandemic.

Very mature. Mature than most others of the population. Mature than our politicians. Praise should really be given where needed.

Not just praise, but financial, moral and physical support. But just like clap for carers/nurses, they won't be given that.

@@TomNook. This only very general, but it does not not do any harm for children to learn hard self-sacrifice for others, the younger the better.
Blessed be that kid. She will succeed in this life and the hereafter.

Are you sure about that? I've met many people with a pure heart, get exploited and ultimately not fulfil their potential.
What a brave and selfless young girl who had to grow up at too young an age. I hope help comes and you get the opportunity to have a normal teenager..
A lot of kids don’t even realise their young carers until they’re older
Katie, Adam and Abbey, if you read this: You are amazing!
These children are incredible. Katie says she feels like she has to be 23 instead of a child, but I am 23 and doubt I could deal with the amount of responsibility she does. I hope things can get better for everyone in these kinds of situations as soon as possible
Katie you are a kind hearted person, I wish I'm rich that I can help. I wish that your dream comes true, stay strong🙏🙏🙏

Bless her big heart ❤
For a 13 years old she is very intelligent and well spoken, she is a special kind of person ❤️❤️
Good on them, real stars. These kids stepping up
That was a difficult watch, but thanks Channel 4. Shed a tear or two, and I'm nearly double 23. Katie, Adam and Abbey - you're amazing. Wise beyond their years and it shouldn't have to be that way. It's been hard enough being just a kid the last year, let alone having to step up and care for family on top. Here's hoping you get the help you need and can go back to being just a kid again.
This is pretty heartbreaking
This isn’t right ... she needs support- they need help.
Oh my darling, I want to hug you and say it will all be ok, you are a blessing
wow shes way more mature than i will ever be, i hope she has a great life
Thanks for this show Channel 4.
You are so precious young lady, God will take care of you!
It's a shame , but at the same time she's a blessing , keep positive ,
They should have a covid education grants for the kids, that suffered under covid, to help in later life.
I really don't understand how a child is left to look after a mother who can't look after her daughter, it makes no sense. There really should be a tax payers funded programme that hire people to come in daily and take the load of this child. I really don't see the point in voting and the Gov't if Children are left to be carers and Marcus Rashford has to call the PM to get children fed. What seriously is Boris's point? I know we should have voted Corbyn, I know it.

I was a young carer for 13 years (I am 13 years old) but I am not anymore because I cannot live with my brother who I looked after and my mum. I missed over half of year eight which means I am failing now and to be honest things would be alit diff if we had Corbyn as PM. I wish I was old enough to vote then I could finally have a say on what goes on in my life😞😣
What an amazing girl with such maturity and spirit. On top of amazing articulation and modesty she exudes empathy and kindness and is so upbeat and buoyant in the face of such difficulties. An example to all and a benchmark for peers of her age and beyond.
You are incredible! 👍
Bless her heart
As someone that was in a remarkably similar position to this girl at the same age I can sadly say that life is likely to get harder for her as time goes by… I hope she has support structures in her life, people she can talk to about how she’s coping, how she’s doing… For me, I was a carer for my sister and she passed and now I’m going to have to become a career for my mum. Sometimes things are just really sad and difficult and there’s nothing you can do but keep struggling on, hoping that you’ll keep afloat
wow I thought she looked way older than that! people mature quickly when they have to take on responsibilities early in life
I really hope these children get the support they need, they're carrying more responsibilities on their shoulders than many adults ever have to contend with.
thanks channel 4 news
All 3 children in this piece are incredible. I hope they are able recover some of their childhood now covid is easing.
Such beautiful,selfless,loving and mature children. Wish them all the success and happiness in life God will surely bless you🙌🏾❤hope when ppl see this they gain even more support from the community.
I’m a young carer so I deeply sympathise. It can be tough sometimes
What a truly inspirational and impressive young person
Living in a society where this happens is disgraceful. May Allah bless these pure hearts!
Katie you are an amazing girl. Beautiful 😍smile and so smart too. I pray the school supports you with your grades and wish you nutun but success girl💃🏾❤🙌🏾
0:54 hits hard, especially if its government employee, they will just make your life 100x more difficult.
Katie has a bright future. I hope she can get that extra support soon so she is able to focus on her studies. Surely the school can make allowances?
Young men, you are Great! Hero's!
Cathy Newman garnered praise for her amazing interview on Jan 16, 2018. Great listening skills, Cathy! Your questions were not biased at all by your own ideology! Good job.

@David Dalby I am a young carer I have no idea how much your words mean. Thank you mate 👍
In the U.S., this happens regularly--it's just our society doesn't have a name for it. I felt so odd growing up, caring for my mother. I didn't realize I wasn't alone...
Is there a gofundme for Katie and the boys? If not please follow up with one. It's pretty much the only way the internets can show support :)
Incredible
Wow these kids are stars well done kids
I guess heros does come in all sizes.
This is a disgrace, these children should be enjoying their childhood, the state should be providing care for the adults, not their kids!

They are different carers. These young carers do not get any form of minimum wage. I am a carer myself, having cared for my disabled daughters for the last sixteen years, and I have never received anyrhing more than the Carers Allowance benefit.

I would be more than happy to enlighten Jane Moon directly on this if she thinks it’s important for her to know (However given her lack of emotional and basic intelligence, this may not help. To even consider such a ‘question’ you have to wonder if she is simply attention seeking). Consider Veroandi Soldusty’s very considered and intelligent response to your comment as an example. Thank you.
