Just saw the NewsBot posted this:
Decline Seen in Child Abuse, But Not Neglect | Psych Central News Neglect IS child abuse, and I feel this article fails to reflect this. |

Best way to report this is to PM Doc or one of the administrators. I read the article but didn't get the impression it was minimizing neglect but maybe this triggered you in a different way. It was saying SA and physical abuse was down, but not neglect. IMO neglect is under the umbrella of abuse.

I think the following link will help you understand the difference between child abuse (or any kind of abuse) and neglect.

IMO neglect is a form of abuse - for example a caregiver who starves a child but doesn't hit the child. Starving causes harm/possible death and is therefore a passive type of abuse.

I read the article, as stating that the reports of abuses declined, but not the reports of neglect. Not that neglect isn't abuse, but how the data is collected.
I find it promising, that neglect is mentioned synonymously with abuse. I'd be curious to hear what DocJohn has to say about the article, itself, however?? |

I think I was just feeling triggered and saw it very simplistically as saying neglect wasn't abuse. Sorry!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
