Child neglect represents one of the most complex social problems in the field of child welfare. This study uses a comparative research design to analyze the out-of-home placement outcomes for children removed for neglect compared to children removed for abuse. According to the findings, children removed for neglect experienced more days in out-of-home care and were less likely to reunify than were children removed for abuse. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
儿童忽视是儿童福利领域最复杂的社会问题之一。本研究采用比较研究设计，分析因忽视被带走的儿童与因虐待被带走的儿童的家庭外安置结果。根据研究结果，因忽视被带走的儿童在家庭外照料的时间更长，与因虐待被带走的儿童相比，他们与家人团聚的可能性更小。文中还讨论了对实践和未来研究的启示。
