You seem to think if someone is hard up, not providing for a child's basic needs might not be neglect - I cannot adequately express how much I disagree with you. The child would be neglected, but not deliberately. Seriously, people on tight budgets face stark choices. Rather than tarring parents, why not focus on the cause of the poverty. A neglected child is an abused child, there should be no other focus. So what do you propose to do then? Make conditions in which some people are too poor to feed and clothe their families, then punish them for this. How much tolerance would you provide to a child abuser? I would punish any form of neglect and not providing for a child's basic needs is neglect. Is not having the means to provide for a child also neglect? Of course it is - child benefit is £20 a week, however low your money in is, not feeding your children is neglect - I'm astonished you need this explaining to you. Deliberately not feeding your child is neglect. Many people forsake eating themselves in order for their kids to eat, however there are some people so hard up that they can't manage even that. And what do these hard up people spend money on in preference to providing for their child's basic needs? Not feeding a child is neglect, deliberate or otherwise. Heating, rent, council tax, clothes, basic living essentials. How many meals could you conjure up for £20. I think that you are denying that poverty exists. Do you see it in your day to day life?

The reality is never about the minority, but the majority - when we dismiss something based on a minority its the majority that are affected.
