Forum's Script About Child Abuse

Assalammualaikum to everyone.

This script actually made by my friends and I, as a group due to one

of our English Test for SPM candidates last year. (I just forget the
name of the test...sorry) My English's teacher, Mr. Affendi asked my
classmates to do a forum and my group have been given 'Child Abuse'
as our topic for the forum and alhamdulillah my group has been
selected to do a second presentation in front of PPD people. Thanks a
lot to Mr. Affendi for his hard work.

omission that endangers or impairs a childs
physical or emotional health and development. Child
abuse includes any damage done to a child which
cannot be reasonably explained and which is often
represented by an injury or series of injuries
appearing to be non-accidental in nature. There are
