There are a number of factors that can cause neglect, or failing to care for. There is often a bad experience that has occurred in the past of the person who feels neglect. Perhaps one has simply stopped caring or seen somebody do this. Many other reasons also exist.

What is physical neglect?

physical neglect is when the body gets badly beaten such as child abuse. Answer Physical neglect can be classified as child abuse because if you neglect your child it is essentially abuse. Physical neglect can also relate to anyone who doesn't take care of themselves such as drug abuse, not eating right to the point of malnutrition, not going to the doctor when ill, etc. I see many homeless people on a day-to-day basis who fall into the category of physical neglect. They are exposed to the elements such as extreme heat, cold - they have no shelter. They do not get to eat and when they do it's sometimes from food others have thrown away. If they don't initially have medical problems, they soon develop them from how they're having to live. Their physical health declines causing even more mental health issues. So, physical neglect can occur in many ways even to people who are not homeless, people who have great incomes, anyone.

Is it consider neglect if minor child is left with noncustodial parent for over a year with no contact from the custodial parent?

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.
