OP? Generally, when you request help from the annonomus public, you indicate your website so we can see if we'd like our experiences to be included. Is this your first article? What other topics have you addressed? Are you a parent or a nanny? Or neither?
I'm not taking direct quotes from anyone, I'm simply gathering information and doing research. I'm a nanny.

Anonymous wrote:could an mb clarify what neglect means? As a nanny I sometimes let the children play on their own while I am getting stuff done. Sometimes in another room. Also I don't drop what ever I am doing to care to their needs asap. for example when the baby gate is closed and someone needs to get upstairs and I know its not an emergency, id let them wait it out til Im done the dishes or folding the laundry. I glance at Facebook or dcum when we are watching the same Sofia the first episode for the 19th time this month... Mbs do you see this as neglectful? Or do you mean like someone on there phone all day and not interacting at all with your children? Or not feeding them when they are hungry tyoe thing
mB here. Neglect to me is knowingly putting my child in harms way. For instance, my 18 month old had a basically safe room for him to be in alone (I don't think you can ever say something is 100% child proof). I have no problem if his nanny plops him in his room so she can do something else that needs to get done (like packing up for the park, making something hot for lunch, etc). To me, neglect would be if she let him roam around the house completely unsupervised getting into who knows what.
My friend had a nanny for her son who did something like what I describe with letting the kid roam the house while she did something else. Kid got into his dad's office and slice his hand with a pair of scissors he found somewhere. To me that is neglectful.
As for your stuff... Checking Facebook or DCUM while kid watches tv is fine. For the other thing...I'd be fine if my kid was just whining and it only took a couple of minutes. If it took 10 min for you to get him and he was crying to get out of his crib, I wouldn't be thrilled
