The definition and parameters of neglect and child abandonment (a form of neglect) vary from state to state and the circumstances surrounding an alleged incident of such are taken into consideration when determining whether or not an act of neglect took place.
For instance, if the parent was hospitalized or incarcerated, it generally would not be considered willful abandonment. If the parent did it because they had no way to provide food, shelter, emotional and financial support for the child for that period of time, it may not be considered an act of neglect, depending on specifics. If they did it because they couldn't be bothered to care for their child and could provide no viable reason why it was done, it would be considered neglect/abandonment.
Ultimately, it would be an issue decided in court.

Abandonment of a child is defined in Arizona Revised Statute Section 8-201(1) as failing to supervise or support a child with the intent to allow that neglect to go on for an indefinite time. If this form of neglect continues for a period of six months the statute presumes the parent has abandoned the child. However courts will consider certain extenuating circumstances on the part of the parent accused of child abandonment before making a final determination. Consult an attorney specializing in family law for more information.

In Oregon, the school district generally holds the custodial parent responsible for ensuring that their child attends school. If a child is not attending school regularly, the school district may take steps to address truancy, such as involving the custodial parent in meetings and offering support services. However, it is unlikely that the custodial parent would face legal trouble solely for their child's non-attendance, unless there is evidence of intentional neglect or failure to comply with court orders.
