"Neglected Child" means a child less than 18 years of age whose physical, mental or emotional condition has been impaired or is in danger of becoming impaired as a result of the failure of the child's legal guardian to exercise a minimum degree of care in supplying the child with adequate food, clothing, shelter, or education or medical care. Neglect also occurs when the legal guardian fails to provide the child with proper supervision or guardianship by allowing the child to be harmed, or to be at risk of harm which includes when the guardian misuses drugs or alcohol him/herself.

MOST TERRIBLE ISSUES FACED BY THE CHILDREN TODAY 7. Lack of Access to Education

Economic and political conditions often make getting an education impossible for children around the world. Families may require their sons and daughters to work so that they have enough money to survive or even sell their children for labor, sex, or adoption because money is too tight. In other cases, obligatory school fees may prove prohibitive. Discrimination, attacks on secular schools, displacement as a result of war or persecution, and other conditions are often to blame. In short, despite the fact that a basic education has been recognized as every child's right ... far too many children are not only left behind but left veritably in the dark. --Arielle Eirienne MOST TERRIBLE ISSUES FACED BY THE CHILDREN TODAY 7.
