Physical neglect can be failing to provide basics for children such as, food, clothing and shelter. Child abandonment is a serious issue because children are unsupervised and the fear for their safety is real. They could start hurting themselves like cutting, burning and a life-time of low self esteem. This can make the child not want to thrive or try in life. Educational neglect could include not enrolling them into school at the correct age which will be leaving them behind. It will cause them to lose out on learning basic life skills, drop out, and then the special needs of those children are not met. This can be a serious threat to physical health, psychology growth and development. Emotional/Psychological neglect can involve witnessing/engaging in spouse abuse in the child’s presence. Allowing the child to take part in drugs and alcohol can be one also because it is putting the child in danger. Also, refusing or failing psychological care in other words, constantly belittling the child and withholding attention. Other types of emotional/psychological abuse can be ignoring, rejecting, verbally assaulting, terrorizing and isolating. This can cause the child to look poorly on themselves and in some of the worst cases this can lead to suicide. Lastly,
