Child neglect is identified as the lack of ability to provide care for a child to the point in which it interferes with their growth (Cowen, 1999, p. 4).
Child neglect can manifest itself in various forms including physical, educational, medical, supervision, and lastly emotional abuse.
I am a high school student who is raising awareness about the topic of child neglect. I first researched the whole topic of child neglect, which included collecting research about the topic.
Furthermore, I gave out surveys in my local neighborhood in which I aimed to see how different social and economic backgrounds affect the way one perceives neglect.
Lastly, I studied the data and used it in order to create an implementation that aims to solve this pressing issue.
