Neglect - Parents
- Thread starter Randy
- Start date
What do you consider to be neglect when it comes to parenting?
Physical, emotional and mental abuse. Failure to provide food, clothing, a safe and loving home, and lack of interest/supervision.
How far is too far before a child should be taken away?
All of the above is too far (IMO). People who notice a child is being neglected and ignore it are just as guilty as the parents. It takes one phone call to child protective services but yet so many people can't be bothered to pick up the phone and help a child.

You cannot rely on Children's Services to monitor the care of children.
