Alcohol and Neglect

Many people try to argue all of the good sides to alcohol and even reasons why the drinking age should be lowered. There are many dangers to alcohol though, and they can affect many people negatively. Alcohol has become a huge factor to kids being neglected and taken away from their families. More and more kids are being taken from their families, put into foster care, and just overall living in absolute fear. These children are at greater risk for having emotional problems than children whose parents are not alcoholics. Alcoholism also runs in families, and children of alcoholics are  more likely than other children to become alcoholics themselves. Children should grow up in homes where they have strong role models to look up to. Kids from families that abuse alcohol see that behavior and may grow up to do that same thing and possibly even neglect their future family. Alcohol can create a cycle of bad habits and neglect and it is for sure something to look out for.
