Drug and Alcohol Families

After watching this video I realized how many children are actually neglected or abused either physically or sexually, due to drug or alcohol use in parents. These children have to witness fighting and other things that normal children would never see. Once these children have seen it, it makes  it more like for them to do it once they are older. It was disturbing looking at the pictures of the homes these children have to live in, and the pictures of children who have been hurt by their parents who use drugs.  I think would be an issue if you had a student in your class whose parents abuse drugs. You can't always tell when a child's parent is a drug used but most likely if they are users then that child will either be abused or neglected in most cases. As a teacher you have to learn the signs and symptoms of children who are being abused and neglected at home.  As a teacher you have to make sure when you notice theses signs that you report that child of being abused.
