Parents Care

Parents Care

Failure to provide consists of omission on the part of the parent or care giver to the basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter to a child. It also includes lack of adequate parental supervision to prevent injury, abandonment and provide medical attention when required. Also included is the category of “failure to thrive”, whereby a child can fail to get adequate nourishment for a variety of reasons e.g. it may be determined that the child has organic problems or non-organic problems or the cause of “failure to thrive” may remain undetermined.
