Child Neglect

Understanding Child Neglect

Child neglect is common but often overlooked. It happens when caregivers don’t provide basic needs. This includes food, shelter, medical care, education, supervision, and emotional support. Unlike other forms of abuse, neglect can be less visible but has serious effects. It can lead to long-term emotional, developmental, and physical harm.

Why It Matters

Neglect harms a child’s ability to thrive. It can cause malnutrition, health issues, school failure, and lasting emotional scars. Neglect often ties to poverty, family instability, or system failures. So, it needs special help and advocacy to make sure children get the support they need.
