What may result from neglect of children, so far as the physical end is concerned, is shown in this picture. The moral results of neglect cannot be depicted at such an early age, yet they are often more serious than the physical. This picture has little or no dramatic strength, but it depicts, with extraordinary fidelity to facts, numerous domestic scenes. Probably everyone can recall instances similar to this and not a few will wish that certain individuals of whom they are reminded could see it. It may, in a way, apply to substantially everyone, since all children sometimes seem to become troublesome and worry their parents. The picture, while not possessing any claims to dramatic power beyond that which is inherent in the subject will, nevertheless, make a profound impression, because it touches upon something which appeals directly to every home. It is one of the strongest sermons upon the neglect of children that has come out in a long time. - The Moving Picture World, August 27, 1910
