| dc.description | The following is a list of state statutes criminalizing child neglect and abandonment. Not all states define child neglect and abandonment in the same manner, as some states do not even use the terms neglect or abandonment . A few states include within their definition of child abuse or child endangerment the concepts of neglect and abandonment. Many states include the definition of abandonment in their neglect laws or vice versa. All states have some form of statute criminalizing the underlying facets of neglect and abandonment, except the state of Maryland. | |
