Neglect is when parents can not provide their children with basic needs. Parents are legally required to provide their children with the following:
· appropriate clothes;
· nutritious food;
· adequate hygiene (soap, shampoo, and a place to take showers or baths)
· supervision and guidance;
· education (i.e. ensuring that you attend school or receive home schooling);
· emotional support (i.e talking to their children, showing interest and affection);
· medical care (i.e. basic preventative care like going to the dentist or doctor on a regular basis, trips to the doctor when you’re sick, visits to the hospital in medical emergencies )
Parents may neglect their children because of several reasons such as they don’t have the necessary skills, or because they have an illness or addiction that interferes with their ability to parent. Neglect is a serious issue, no matter what the cause is.
