“…Therefore, deciphering between arrangements that might be characterized as oversights in parenting and situations that rise to the level of statutory neglect represents an ongoing challenge for the child protective service agencies that make such determinations in the context of varying policy and practice environments (Zielewski, Malm, & Geen, 2006). However, it is important to note that the behaviors described in this study hold potential for child morbidity and mortality, even if they occur just once or for a short period of time.…”

Supervisory neglect, or the failure of a caregiver to appropriately supervise a child, is one of the predominant types of neglectful behaviors, with alcohol use being considered a key antecedent to inadequate supervision of children. The current study builds on previous work by examining the role of parental drinking and alcohol outlet densities while controlling for caregiver and child characteristics. Data were obtained from 3,023 participants via a telephone survey from 50 cities throughout California. The telephone survey included items on neglectful parenting practices, drinking behaviors, and socio-demographic characteristics. Densities of alcohol outlets were measured for each of the 202 zip codes in the study. Multilevel Bernoulli models were used to analyze the relationship between four supervisory neglect parenting practices and individual-level and zip code-level variables. In our study, heavy drinking was only significantly related to one of our four outcome variables (leaving a child where he or she may not be safe). The density of on premise alcohol outlets was positively related to leaving a child home alone when an adult should be present. This study demonstrates that discrete relationships exist between alcohol related variables, social support, and specific supervisory neglect subtypes at the ecological and individual levels.

“…Furthermore, many immigrants have cultural norms that differ from those in the United States, in the areas of child rearing, discipline, supervision and medical treatment. In some child welfare agencies, cultural differences in parenting styles have been viewed as negligence (Olayo Mendez, 2006;Zielewski, Malm, & Geen, 2006).…”

“…Self-care can be a positive aspect of the transition to adolescence. However, self care is not appropriate for most children in middle childhood; and in some cases self-care represents parental neglect (Zielewski et al 2006). Children may have an increased likelihood of being injured or poisoned (Kerrebrock and Lewit 1999)or simply being frightened or lonelyin the absence of adult supervision.…”

that conceptualizes elements of well-being relevant for the middle childhood period, identifies potential constructs and develops criteria for indicators. Here, we follow up by identifying a set of 20 indicator constructs, half positive and half negative. Of these 20, half measure child well-being and half measure contexts that affect child development. For each construct, we discuss evidence of importance and provide, where possible, examples of measures from US surveys. Keywords Middle childhood . Measures BackgroundConsiderable development occurs during middle childhood; in fact, some suggest that middle-childhood characteristics may more strongly predict future outcomes than do preschool indicators (Collins 1984). Moreover, considerable research connects behavior problems during the teen years to experiences and development during the elementary school years (Huston and Ripke 2006b). However, it cannot be presumed that the trends and patterns for middle childhood 1 mirror the patterns for older or younger children. Therefore, a comprehensive set of indicators appropriate to middle childhood is necessary in order to track how consecutive cohorts of children are faring in the context of changing policy, economic, and social environments, and in order to identify whether some subgroups of children are faring Child Ind Res (2008) 1:129-155
