Video: Children Forced to Fend for Their Parents

For most children, a typical day revolves around going to school, playing a game or two with other kids and then returning home to do homework. With no worries, they rely on their parents for everything they need, as they should.

However, many children whose parents are visually impaired rarely enjoy that experience. Their days revolve around guiding their parents as they maneuver through traffic, begging travelers for money, food, and drink.
