Child neglect

Child neglect is a form of child abuse, and is a deficit in meeting a child's basic needs, including the failure to provide adequate supervision, health care, clothing, or housing, as well as other physical, emotional, social, educational, and safety needs.

Child abuse or child maltreatment is physical, sexual, and/or psychological maltreatment or neglect of a child or children, especially by a parent or a caregiver.

Causes of neglect may result from several parenting problems including mental disorders, unplanned pregnancy, substance abuse, unemployment, overemployment, domestic violence, and, in special cases, poverty.

Children born of unintended pregnancies have higher risk of child abuse and neglect.

Research on correlation between child neglect and parenting styles has shown that those who suffered from parental neglect tend to have problems in relationships as adults.

In 1998, independent scholar Judith Rich Harris published The Nurture Assumption, in which she argued that scientific evidence, especially behavioral genetics, showed that all different forms of parenting do not have significant effects on children's development, short of cases of severe child abuse or child neglect.

Children experiencing neglect often suffer from malnutrition, which causes abnormal patterns for development.

The Graded Care Profile Tool is a practice tool which gives an objective measure of the quality of care in terms of a parent/carer's commitment.

It is often used in cases where child neglect is suspected.

Triple P (Parenting Program) is a positive parenting program.

The circumstances and intentionality must be examined before defining behavior as neglectful.

In 2008, the U.S. state and local Child Protective Services (CPS) received 3.3 million reports of children being abused or neglected.

Maltreated children were about five times more likely to have a first emergency department presentation for suicide related behavior, compared to their peers, in both boys and girls.

Neglect is difficult to define, since there are no clear, cross-cultural standards for desirable or minimally adequate child-rearing practices.
