Parental neglect

A quick definition of Parental neglect:

Parental neglect is when a parent or legal guardian doesn't give a child the things they need to live, like food, clothes, a safe place to live, or medical care. This is a type of child abuse and is against the law. Sometimes, if a parent neglects their child, they can lose their rights to be a parent. Neglect can also mean not taking care of a child's emotional needs or not making sure they go to school.

A more thorough explanation:

Parental neglect is when a parent or legal guardian fails to provide a child with the things they need to live a healthy life. This is often considered a type of child abuse and is also called child neglect. For example, if a parent doesn't give their child enough food, clothes, shelter, medical care, or other necessary things, they could be guilty of parental neglect.

Parental neglect can take many forms, including:

  • Physical neglect: not providing a child with basic needs like food, shelter, or medical care
  • Emotional neglect: not giving a child the love, attention, and support they need to feel safe and secure
  • Educational neglect: not making sure a child goes to school and gets a good education

For example, if a parent doesn't take their child to the doctor when they're sick, or if they don't give them enough food to eat, that could be physical neglect. If a parent doesn't show their child love and affection, or if they ignore their emotional needs, that could be emotional neglect. And if a parent doesn't make sure their child goes to school, that could be educational neglect.

Parental neglect is a serious problem that can have long-lasting effects on a child's health and well-being. In some cases, it can even lead to the termination of parental rights.

The "date changes" at Michigan really don't mean anything. We had to do them in undergrad admissions whenever a Georgia applicant picked the country instead of the state, because we'd have to remove the TOEFL requirement and reassign the application from the international application readers.

Classy, does that mean they may look at your application, and that look doesn't necessarily trigger any date change?

@soapy: I don't know for sure about the law school. For undergrad, once the application is complete, it's assigned to a reader the following Monday. If we had to make any changes, it's because a reader saw something that needed to be changed and the application needed to be re-read after that change.

You're welcome. FWIW, I have no idea what's up with the address changes. We didn't have to do any of that, except for the Georgia state vs country kinds of things.

I've heard it theorized that some schools will change the address from "St." --> "Street" as they prepare to send out admissions packets. That's the rumor, anyways.
i think it just indicates a change in status like under review or stages of review
my stanford address went long as soon as it was marked complete lmao

I saw some Reddit adcom say that they can see any time we refresh the status checker; I wonder if it's a red flag if an applicant's checked it like 50 times in a day?

Also, can we send another LoR to a school that we've already applied to?
