Two Reasons a Parent Might Be Charged with Neglect Are

Two reasons a parent might be charged with neglect are for unsafe housing or homelessness. Why does this occur?

A) Because parents do not care enough to pay their bills and end up homeless or living in poor housing conditions.
B) Housing disruption can make it difficult to keep families together and although child welfare workers are aware of family housing needs, there are limited resources and funding available to assist.
C) Parents have substance abuse or mental health issues that make the family homeless.
D) The children are not well mannered and end up tearing up the home and the family ends up on the street.
