Do you know what child neglect looks like? Do you think they wear the same clothes almost everyday? Do there have poor hygiene? When you ask them if they have any health issues they say yes but they aren’t taking anything for it? Do you see them carrying around large amounts of food and hoard everything into a bag? If the answer to these was yes and you know exactly who came to mind, chances are that child is experiencing some form of child neglect.
Some forms of child neglect come in the physical, educational, emotional and medical neglect. They all look closely related on a child but it is important on how to approach a situation like this. Sometimes even poverty can be taken as child neglect. To know the difference you must see if the parents are fit to provide adequate care to oness child and if they can but are not given then it is child neglect. If the parents cannot afford care by any means than it means that they are in the low income bracket and cannot provide sufficiently for the child.
As a member of this society it can be imperative to spot child neglect because you could potentially save a kids life. Unfortunately for a 14 year old girl in South Carolina was there a tragic ending. The mother, Bobbie Baynard of the 14 year old, and her husband David Baynard were arrested and charged for the murder of their child. Bobbie and David both lacked the appropriate care to their child when she was in need of medical help. It was not until the 14 year old had collapsed and became unresponsive that David and Bobbie took into the hospital where hospital staff spotted multiple signs of abuse and neglect.
the Deputy of Cherokee County had spoken about how the 14 year old personal hygiene was both short term and long term not been acknowledged by her parents. Along with multiple signs of horrific living conditions. After a warrant was out to search their home deputies found multiple urine, policies and infestations of flies everywhere. The parents David and Bobbie Baynard are both looking at murder charges and multiple other charges along as well.
