They do it because they feel it is well a worth while job.
They don't do it as charity they do it because it is a calling.
The government does have responsibility to support those with disabilities just like it supports those
who become redundant and are unemployed. Additionaly parents need relief and respite is needed otherwise the mental health system will
have to deal with the parents.
The problem however will get worse unless the government does something about groups who marry their cousins.
There should be a law that cousin marriage is illegal and should be a disqualification for migration if your parents are cousins or the
applicant is married to their cousin.
The Midlands health service in the UK has discovered that the risk of
genetic defects is 13 time greater where cousin marriages are involved.
