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

lot to Mr. Affendi for his hard work.
