“…Many parents who are negligent, live in poverty or live in a way that is poor. (Cantwell, 1997;Dubowitz, 1999;Joffe, 2002;Smith & Fong, 2004;. Nevertheless, not all poor families are negligent, hence poverty cannot be considered a major factor to child neglect.…”

“…Likewise, vaccinations may not be provided to the kid, and preventable childhood illnesses can become a terrible part of the life of the neglected child. Hair lice, which is often left untreated by the overworked and emotionally detached parent, is another medical sign observed in neglected children (DePanfilis, 2006;Smith & Fong, 2004;Taylor & Daniel, 2005).…”

“…Neglectful parents are less connected with others, have poor impulse control, struggle to organize and plan, and, as a result, are unsatisfied with their accomplishments. When compared to the general population, they were shown to have lower IQ scores and a lack of respect for societal norms and values (Smith & Fong, 2004;Taylor & Daniel, 2005). Cantwell concisely recognized that these parents' actions toward their children are the result of a lack of information, judgment, and drive, as she describes in her book (1999).…”

Almost all forms of abuse include child neglect, and still the professional and clinical community is only now starting to focus attention to this phenomenon and its short- and long-term effects. This paper begins with defining child neglect, what causes parents to neglect the children which they are supposed to love and protect, and the protective factors that parents and the community must be aware of and utilize in protecting kids.

“…Although child neglect is a specific problem (Allnock, 2016;Smith & Fong, 2004), very few studies distinguish the effects of interventions for this population (Farmer & Lutman, 2012;Rostad et al, 2016).…”

This study, conducted in a real-world setting, evaluated the effect of a parenting programme offered to families receiving child protection services (CPS) for child neglect. With a retrospective quasi-experimental design, the study used administrative data to examine the association between participation in the Incredible Years ® (IY) parenting programme and the likelihood that the family's CPS case file would be closed. The intervention group included all children involved with CPS for neglect who had at least one parent who participated in the IY between 2007 and 2015 (n = 299) whereas the comparison group consisted of 299 children with substantiated neglect but who received care as usual in CPS, during the same time period. The children were matched by a propensity score calculated using several variables. A Cox regression comparing intervention and comparison groups revealed that the participation in the programme increased the probability of case closure by 43%. Thus, participation in the programme can contribute to restoring the family's ability to care for the child, thus reducing the time spent in CPS.

Child neglect is the most prevalent form of child maltreatment; it is unique as neglect is an act of omission rather than an act of commission. Scholars have developed several categories of neglect including physical, medical, educational, and emotional. Parents who neglect their children have distinct characteristics that are risk factors contributing to their lack of care or endangerment of their children. Children of neglect present with a variety of negative effects including attachment issues and school difficulties and are at risk of continuing the cycle of the neglectful family pattern.
