English translation: Maskrosbarn - in this context

Swedish term or phrase: maskrosbarn
Men om jag ska försöka ta ett exempel lyfter jag gärna fram svenska Maskrosbarn som jobbar med ungdomar som har föräldrar som missbrukar eller är psykiskt sjuka.

I totally understand the concept, tragic as it is, but I know there's a better translation out there than Norstedt's "Survivor" (children).

  -> An explanation is unnecessary since it's already part of the original text - "som jobbar med ungdomar som har föräldrar som missbrukar eller är psykiskt sjuka"

Explanation:
I've suggested a highly standard term that we use in the UK
Don't know if it is used in other English speaking countries though
