In this article, we trace the evolution of the concept of child neglect in state statutes and the professional literature. We discuss two competing perspectives in defining child neglect: parental behavior and potential or actual harm to the child. We also analyze the literature on cultural group variation in defining neglect, as well as variations in the definition of neglect based on social role. Conclusions for child welfare practice and policy are presented
