Neglect is the most common form of child maltreatment, yet it remains the least discussed. The earlier it is identified and addressed, the better the chances are for a child to recover, build resilience, and thrive. Every child deserves to be seen, heard, and nurtured. And every adult has the power to help make that happen.

Child abuse and neglect don’t just affect the child—they ripple through families, communities, and generations. But with awareness comes action. When we know the signs and understand the types, we’re better equipped to protect children, support survivors, and create safer environments. Prevention starts with knowledge. And every adult can be part of the solution.
