1. The child is not left alone.
2. The child has TWO parents.
3. If mom does not drop everything, then it is child neglect?! What about the other parent.
4. OP takes child out.
5. There is someone at home with the child.
6. Not entertaining a 9 year old, is not the same as neglect.
7.This is *not* the definition of child neglect.
Once again, people on here are SO eager to throw labels around.
