What is neglectful supervision?

Adults who are attentive and aware of children's behaviors are in the best position to safeguard their well-being.

When children are not adequately supervised, it may be considered “neglectful supervision”, which means: Placing a child in or failing to remove a child from a situation that a reasonable person would realize requires judgment or actions beyond the child's level of maturity, physical condition or mental abilities and that results in bodily injury or substantial risk of immediate harm to the child.

Neglectful supervision is also defined as: Placing a child in or failing to remove the child from a situation in which the child would be exposed to a substantial risk of sexual conduct harmful to the child.

Neglectful supervision is definately one way to lose custody or have your visitation modified -- specially if your children are small.
