Which individuals are neglected children?

Minors over age eighteen
Children with responsible parents
Children providing necessary support as required by law
Children whose parents do not provide required support

The correct answer is: Children whose parents do not provide required support

Neglected children are typically identified as those whose parents or guardians fail to provide the necessary support and care required by law. This can include neglect in providing basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing, medical care, education, and emotional support. Children with responsible parents (choice B) are not considered neglected unless there is evidence of neglectful behavior. Minors over the age of eighteen (choice A) are considered legal adults and not typically subject to child neglect laws. Children providing necessary support as required by law (choice C) does not align with the definition of neglected children, as they are the ones receiving support, not necessarily giving it.
