What are some of the issues that make defining child neglect difficult?

What will be an ideal response?


Students should address how the concepts of basic need and parental failure to provide are difficult to define.

Students can additionally discuss how issues of poverty and parental intent further complicate the issue. The cultural context can also have a large impact on what is considered neglect.
