It occured to me the other day that one result of China's one-child policy is that most people since 1979 have probably grown up without brothers, sisters or cousins and more recently without aunts or uncles. Is that accurate? Have other social roles become more prominent in order to fill these gaps? [more inside]

I'm trying to remember a tv movie that was featured on ABC's Weekend Special with O.G. Readmore. The problem is I only vaguely remember certain parts of the movie. The few things I DO remember is that there were a couple kids stranded on an island (possibly brother and sister) and that the brother had to protect his sister from a tiger that entered their camp. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
