What was this Saundra?

Saundra I was flicking round channels last night and caught a couple of minutes of this, the really articulate and bright little blonde girl who lived in one room with her mother and sister? Living ad sleeping with no furniture and surrounded by piles of their clothes and stuff with nowhere to keep it It was heartbreaking - I had to turn over as it was getting me upset The richest country in the world and people are living like that

It will be like that in this country soon if the present lot get their way

Loz I can't remember the channel, I only found it by accident

[Diflower]

It was called America's Poor Kids, BBC2 9pm last night.

I saw the review and didn't watch it, I'd only have got upset and angry

[Kaz]

Google is my friend It was called America's Poor Kids, and was on BBC2 - so would be available on iplayer

Snap Di LOL

And yes it was pretty upsetting, which is why I switched over...............just so wrong

I was awake half the night after watching that programme I was so upset, it puts our lives into perspective.
I hope the UK doesn't get as bad as there.

and take for granted
