culpable neglect

Read a random definition: Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure

A quick definition of culpable neglect:

Culpable neglect is when someone fails to take care of something or someone they are responsible for, whether on purpose or by accident. This can include not giving a child the things they need to be healthy and safe, like food, shelter, and medical care. It can also mean not paying attention to something important that needs to be done, like taking care of a pet or keeping a house clean. Culpable neglect is not okay and can have serious consequences.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Culpable neglect is the failure to give proper attention, supervision, or necessities to a person or thing, whether it is intentional, negligent, or willful. It is a censurable or blameworthy neglect that is less than gross carelessness but more than the failure to use ordinary care.

Examples:

  • Child neglect: This is the failure of a person responsible for a minor to care for the minor's emotional or physical needs. It is a form of child abuse, and local child-welfare departments investigate reports of child neglect. In severe cases, criminal charges may be filed against a person suspected of child neglect.
  • Medical neglect: This is the failure to provide medical, dental, or psychiatric care that is necessary to prevent or treat serious physical or emotional injury or illness.
  • Physical neglect: This is the failure to provide necessaries, the lack of which has caused or could cause serious injury or illness.
  • Willful neglect: This is the intentional or reckless failure to carry out a legal duty, especially in caring for a child.

The examples illustrate how culpable neglect can take different forms and can have serious consequences, especially when it comes to the well-being of children. It is important to recognize and address instances of culpable neglect to prevent harm and ensure that individuals and organizations fulfill their responsibilities.
