CHILD NEGLECT (law) and Manchester school (sh)


CHILD NEGLECT (law)




Defined by state statutes. Usually arises from a parents passive indifference to a childs well-being, such as failing to feed a child or leaving a child alone for an extended time.





Manchester school (sh)




Political and economic school of thought led by Richard Cobden and John Bright that originated in meetings of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce in 1820 and dominated the British Liberal Party in the mid-19th century.

Its followers believed in laissez-faire economic policies, including free trade, free competition, and freedom of contract, and were isolationist in foreign affairs. Its adherents tended to be businessmen, not theorists.
