152 jacquelineellisGBI have cared for my grandson for 4years and have a residents order so he lives with me. Apart from the usual payments i.e. child tax and child benifit i get no other help phsical or finical. I have today visted my M.P to ask why people get paid to look after their own children in the form of carers allowence and we as grandparents get nothing for caring for our grandchildren which if we were not looking after would cost the goverment billions to keep these children in care. I feel very strongly on this subject as i know of people whom claim carers allowence yet look after their child alot less time then i am caring for my grandson

158 ToniMeadTXUSThe way grandparents are treated in the Court system in Texas is a disgrace, especially when your raising your teenage grandchild without without a cent from anyone. The parents who do not support their children nor care for them have more rights.

171 sarahcarsonGBmy mother looks after my sisters son since he was 3 years old. and will do for the rest of his life, she gets no help at all and is always given the run around when she has asked questions and asked for help. it seems like each agency pass it on to the other.
