Statistics
- Only 40 % of survey takers that would be considered lower class stated that they experienced child neglect more than 5 times.
- Whereas, 64 % of survey takers who are considered middle or upper class stated that they or a family member have experienced child neglect.
- Furthermore, 39 % of survey takers said that they believe child neglect is not important or kind of important.
- Although, I found that there is a moderately weak correlation of “.31” (See Appendix M for more information). this shows that there should be more outreach done regardless of education, and that's not where the issue lies.
- One example, of child neglect that is very common is the existence of child neglect in single parent households due to the lack of stability in family structure. Though child abuse and child neglect are seen as two strikingly different entities they often are a symptom that go hand in hand with the other issue.
