Summary
Child neglect and abuse have become an extremely common phenomenon during the critical times of the covid 19 pandemics. School systems, as well as youth-serving organisations, are two important means through which the incidences of child neglect and abuse get reported as well as addressed. Therefore, these two systems play a pivotal role in reducing the number of cases of child neglect in the domestic households of the people of the United States. However, in different regions of the United States, which is inclusive of Connecticut, California, Michigan, New Hampshire, Louisiana, and so on, despite the increase in the number of cases of child neglect and abuse, the reports of child maltreatment hotlines have decreased drastically.
It is to be noted and considered that, the decrease in the number of reports does not suggest the reduction of the cases of child neglect. On the contrary, it suggests the severing of the connection between the children and the educational personnel and youth-serving organisations and programs. In this regard, the schools need to be proactive in identifying at-risk children, use specific vocabulary to address home environment safety and report suspected neglect and abuse to the authority.
