What is neglect?

‍Neglect is when someone isn’t helping you the way they are supposed to help you.

This includes:

• stopping you from getting the things you need
• taking away the things that you need.

For example, things like:

• food and water
• housing
• clothes
• healthcare.

This is never OK.
