I feel that there should be more awareness raised on this issue so that even more people can contribute to effort being put in to help mentally or physically disabled people. In fact, there should be homes for them being set up if their families are too busy to take care of them, where they can interact with others and be taken care throughout the day.
However, the bad thing about this is sometimes family members might find them a burden and just dump them into such homes. This would be the opposite of what we wanted, to care for the disabled and make them happy. The homes should also be opened to the disabled with no other family members to care for them, like in the case where the father of a disabled person wanted someone to care for his son after his death, and was extremely worried for him.
Normally, if the family members become too distraught, they might kill the disabled person and / or commit suicide, like mentioned in the article. There should be organisations set up to prevent such cases, like letting those with troubles contact them so the organisations can assist them.
I feel that the best solution will be to raise awareness on this issue, so that people can put in various efforts to aid those disabled people. Although there are already many nursing homes and services, there will always be room for improvement. Besides, not all disabled people might have been contacted and helped, some are still relying solely on their family members.
We should really find a way to ease their burden and help one another as civilised people.
