willful neglect

Read a random definition: Export Clause

A quick definition of willful neglect:

Willful neglect is when someone intentionally or recklessly fails to do something they are supposed to do, especially when it comes to taking care of a child. Neglect is when someone doesn't give proper attention to a person or thing, whether they meant to or not. But willful neglect is when someone knows they should do something, but they choose not to do it anyway. This can be very harmful, especially when it comes to taking care of children.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Willful neglect is the intentional or reckless failure to carry out a legal duty, especially in caring for a child.

Examples:

  • A parent intentionally not providing necessary medical care for their child
  • A caregiver recklessly leaving a child unattended for long periods of time
  • A teacher intentionally not reporting suspected child abuse

These examples illustrate willful neglect because in each case, the person responsible for the child's well-being is intentionally or recklessly failing to fulfill their legal duty to provide proper care and attention. This can result in harm to the child and is considered a serious form of child abuse.
