Parental neglect

Read a random definition: roadstead

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.
