Which individuals fail to provide necessary support to neglected children as required by law?

  1. Strangers in the neighborhood

  2. Any person except the caregiver

  3. Parents or persons responsible for their welfare

  4. Family members who live in the home

The correct answer is: Parents or persons responsible for their welfare

Neglected children require necessary support from their parents or persons responsible for their welfare as mandated by law. In cases of neglect, it is the responsibility of the parents or guardians to provide the essential care, protection, and support that the child needs. This support includes meeting the child's physical, emotional, and psychological needs, ensuring their safety and well-being. While strangers or other family members may notice signs of neglect and report it, it is ultimately the primary caregivers who are legally obligated to provide the required support to neglected children.
