Neglect?

Neglect is the ongoing failure to meet a child's basic needs. Without more info, I wouldn't say this was neglect, not that I'm saying it's okay, but I wouldnt class it as neglect!

I mean, if they're locked up in a house and don't see see light, then yes it's neglect but without a little more info.....🤷

it sort of depends, it's not on hierarchy of needs base level to Rachel's point. but equally if you're suggesting a situation where they're basically locked in the house for years a la harry potter, yes that's neglect. if we're just talking about the frequency of child-centred activities though that's a really different thing to me, kids can socialise just by going to the grocery store or going on a walk with you and seeing neighbours outside. it's not neglect imo just because you're not going to the zoo or soft play. so i think it depends a little on what we're talking about.

This post needs a lot more context
