Recently adopted criteria clarify response to, and define what exactly is, child neglect

Have you ever been concerned about the welfare of youngsters in a house in your neighborhood, or questioned whether the 13-year-old next door should be staying alone overnight in his house? Are there times when you wanted to notify someone about a potentially-neglected child but you weren't sure who to call?

Note: Neglect can be pretty much anything they want it to be. Any little thing at all. Like Anonymous says, "There's this big gray area." Having it all spelled out for them still won't guarantee that they follow their own rules and procedures.
