Jacob's behavior suggests a lack of parental involvement or supervision, which is characteristic of neglectful parenting. Neglectful parents tend to be uninvolved in their children's lives and fail to provide appropriate guidance and support, which can contribute to delinquent behavior. The other options (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) all involve some degree of parental involvement, discipline, and/or support, which do not fit Jacob's behavior patterns.
