I found that the child was portrayed as a victim who suffered great harm. The parent, when portrayed as an offender, was someone selfish who by drinking alcohol put their child’s wellbeing at risk. Alcohol was debated as whether being a poison or a substance to enjoy. Also the risks of getting caught in substance abuse were discussed.
