What is child abuse?
Child abuse is the mistreatment by an adult of a child or young person that harms or endangers that child or young person's physical or emotional health, development or wellbeing
Having know what i meant by child abused.
Now today topic: "Neglect and Abandonment"
- Neglect occurs when a child's basic necessities of life are not met, and their health and development are affected. Basic needs includes: food, housing, health care, adequate clothing, personal hygiene, hygienic living conditions, timely provision of medical treatment, adequate supervision.
Child Abandonment.
- Child abandonment occurs when a parent, guardian, or person in charge of a child either deserts a child without any regard for the child's physical health, safety or welfare and with the intention of wholly abandoning the child, or in some instances, fails to provide necessary care for a child living under their roof.
Abandonment typically refers to a parent's choice to willfully withhold physical, emotional, and financial support from a minor child. In other words, abandonment occurs when the parent fails to fulfill his or her parental responsibilities and chooses not to have contact with his or her child. Parental abandonment is not limited to non-custodial parents, either. Sometimes parents with sole custody —even those who have fought hard in court to win child custody —have also been accused of abandoning their children.
There are series of question being ask why do parents abandon?
The most common question is, "How could a parent do that?" Sadly, parents who abandon their children often do so because they believe they are ill-equipped to provide the emotional and financial stability the child needs.
It's common to blame this on the previous generation's ability to parent (or lack thereof), and yet it's not true that all parents who abandon were mistreated, ignored, or neglected as children.
Certainly, we see examples every day of parents who were neglected or abused, and yet later become loving, committed parents. So these types of generalizations don't hold up when examined more closely.
