Question

Cynthia is a five-year-old child. She stays with her working single mother in an apartment shared with her mother’s other friends. The friends often party, leaving Cynthia out of the apartment, and sometimes eat the food kept in the fridge for Cynthia. What form of abuse is this? A. sexual abuse B. neglect C. sudden infant death syndrome D. bullying

Answer 1

B - Neglect

This is because the adults in the household are not attending to the child’s needs and are doing other things such as partying and having fun.

It is not A as this has nothing to do with sexual abuse whatsoever.

C is not the answer as the infant has not died suddenly.

D is also not the answer as this isn’t bullying as there is not physical or (shown) mental harm.

Hope this helps!
