Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges (1998), neglect is defined as the failure of a parent, guardian or other caregiver to provide for a child's basic needs, including food, clothing, shelter, and medical care. Options A, B, and D are all examples of neglected children as they lack adequate shelter, are living with dangerous individuals or engaged in dangerous activities, and lack adequate care and supervision from a responsible adult. Option C does not fit the definition of neglect as the child is caught stealing food, which may suggest an issue with poverty or hunger but not necessarily a failure of a caregiver to provide for their basic needs.
