Neglects of Child Abuse Outline

Introduction/Opening Statement: Neglect is another major problem of child abuse in Southwest Missouri. Every person should have a right to live how he or she wants as long as it doesn’t infringe on another persons life. If there’s a child being neglected, then their rights are not being upheld, as they should be and this serves as a reason of why neglect is so wrong. Just imagine, to a parent your child is above all the most important thing in your life, knowing that who would want to do something so cruel?
