Presentation transcript:

 It is defined as a type of maltreatment that refers to the failure to provide needed age- appropriate care, such as shelter, food, clothing, education, supervision, medical care, and other basic necessities needed for development of physical, intellectual and emotional capacities.

 Physical neglect – includes the refusal of or extreme delay in seeking the necessary health care, child abandonment, inadequate supervision, rejection of a child leading to expulsion from the home, and failing to adequately provide for the child’s safety and physical and emotional needs.  Physical neglect can severely impact a child’s development by causing failure to thrive, malnutrition, serious illnesses, physical harm in the form of cuts, bruises and burns due to lack of supervision and a lifetime of low self-esteem

 Educational neglect – occurs when a child is allowed to engage in chronic truancy, is of mandatory school age but not enrolled in school or receiving needed special educational training.  Educational neglect can lead to underachievement in acquiring necessary basic skills, dropping out of school and/or continually disruptive behaviour

 Emotional neglect – includes actions such as chronic or extreme spousal abuse in the child’s presence, allowing a child to use drugs or alcohol, refusal or failure to provide needed psychological care, constant belittling and withholding of affection.  This pattern of behaviour leads to poor self- image, alcohol and drug abuse, destructive behaviour and even suicide.  Severe neglect of infants can result in the infant failing to grow and thrive and may even lead to infant death

 Medical neglect – failure to provide appropriate health care for a child although financially able to do so. In some cases, parents withhold medical care due to the practice of religious beliefs. This may end with the courts forcing medical treatment to save the child’s life.  Medical neglect can result in poor overall health and compounded medical problems.
