What is an example of neglect in children?

Unexplained bruises
Evidence of a sexual act of an adult with a child
Inappropriate or soiled clothing
Overly aggressive behavior

The correct answer is: Inappropriate or soiled clothing

Neglect in children refers to a lack of appropriate care, supervision, or support that can impact their well-being and development. Inappropriate or soiled clothing can be a clear indication of neglect because it suggests that the child's basic needs for hygiene and appropriate attire are not being met. This can affect a child's self-esteem, social interactions, and overall health. In contrast, the other options indicate issues of a different nature. Unexplained bruises often signal physical abuse, while evidence of a sexual act points to sexual abuse or exploitation. Overly aggressive behavior may suggest emotional or behavioral issues influenced by various factors, including exposure to violence or other challenging environments, rather than outright neglect. Understanding the signs of neglect is crucial for identifying and intervening in cases where children are not receiving adequate care and support.
