For your PPT presentation, you should answer the questions toward the end of this document, to be added to each of your slides. You will ONLY need to do a PPT presentation; NO paper is required for this assignment. ALSO, please note:

1. You MUST use and cite AT LEAST three (3) articles, along with watching the video to support your answers to the relevant questions below.

2. You MUST discuss topics related to your answers (ex. child abuse).

DO NOT JUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS; BUT, SUPPORT YOUR ANSWERS WITH RESEARCH FROM YOUR ARTICLES. (For example, if you are talking about child abuse, then use a reference from and include a citation to an article on child abuse that matches your discussion/comment(s)

3. Do NOT use the video as a reference; it is assumed that you watched the video when answering the questions.

4. Hint: For each of your slide titles, use the topic of your question. For example, if the question is asking you about neglect; then, use “Neglect” as your slide title.

AND, include each question on each of your slides so we know what questions you are presenting on for each slide.

5. Use a SEPARATE APA formatted references slide as your last slide(s).

4. Gertrude’s daughter Paula ended up getting pregnant by a married man. How did Sylvia catch the brunt of it? What other lies did Paula tell in order to get Sylvia in trouble? How did Gertrude allow Paula to get even on the lies she allegedly told?

5. Why do you believe that Gertrude threw away the letter that the Likens had written to their daughters? Sylvia and Jenny called their parents from a pay phone after they found the letter and expressed concerns. Based on the short conversation in the phone booth, should it have been a red flag? If so, why? What was the punishment that Sylvia had to suffer because the girls called their parents?

6. How did the neighbors react to the abuse that they heard? Why do you think they reacted this way?

8. Who helps Sylvia up the stairs to escape? Why did this person have a change of heart?

9. Gertrude stuck to her lies till the very end and received life in prison. She was paroled after 20 years, do you agree with her parole? Why or why not? The other children who took part in the assaults only received a few years, should they have gotten more time? Why or why not?
