Maybe, it depends upon the type and extent of the neglect. For example, what physical harm if any has been done to the child as related to... adequate food, housing, clothing, education, health care etc.

∙ 13y agoPeople in certain occupations: Medical Doctors, Nurses ( including in Schools) teachers, are legally obligated to REPORT all incidents to the authorities. My Mother said this was technically required in her office job at an insurance company with an all-adult complement of employees-for this reason the requirement ( which would have required some special training seminars on how to recognize symptoms) was waived. Not many tykes at Home Insurers. She was an Industrial/Occupational nurse, though. so that is the score- Health professionals with direct access to kids- as well as teachers, are legally obligated- like Fire Laws- to report all incidents to the police or other authorities such as DYFUS ( Division of Youth and Family services- pronounced almost to rhyme with ( Diapers).

How long does a parent have to be absent from a child's life before it is consider abononment in Indiana?
The state of Indiana recognizes child abandonment only in regard to children 12 months of age or younger. However the state does recognize neglect as a form of child abandonment. According to Indiana law, neglect occurs when a child's mental or physical state is "impaired or seriously endangered" because of a parent's or guardian's "inability, refusal, or neglect" to provide the child with supervision, shelter, food, medical attention or education. For children older than 12 months, it is the custodial parent's duty to file an immediate report with the Department of Child Services in Indiana or with a local law enforcement agency outlining the circumstances of neglect (in this case, child abandonment). From there, the case is investigated, pursued in court and based on the judge's findings, the parent who abandoned the child may have their parental rights involuntarily terminated. No specific period of time is indicated as to when this occurs but generally, anywhere from a period of 6 months to 1 year, if no extenuating circumstances apply are usually grounds for a finding of neglect via abandonment.
