CLINICAL REPORT

When Is Lack of Supervision Neglect?

Kent P. Hymel, MD and Committee on Child Abuse and Neglect

Occasionally, pediatricians become aware of children who are inadequately supervised. More frequently, pediatricians treat children for traumatic injuries or ingestions that they suspect could have been prevented with better supervision. This clinical report contains guidance for pediatricians considering a referral to a child protective services agency on the basis of suspicion of supervisory neglect.

Key Words: child supervision • childhood injury • child neglect
