It falls in the category of "neglect". Parents are the "duty bearers" to ensure safey of the child and to address the needs instead of neglecting them.
Article 18 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child states that-
"States Parties shall use their best efforts to ensure recognition of the principle that both parents have common responsibilities for the upbringing and development of the child. Parents or, as the case may be, legal guardians, have the primary responsibility for the upbringing and development of the child. The best interests of the child will be their basic concern. ... "
However, the state, the other agencies working with children also fall into the category of duty bearers.

Both the state and agencies do not come under legal gaurdian, so they are not directly influencing child upbringing rather suppose to make laws, secure rights,& its healthy implementation without discrimination!!
Yes, plato123 i agreed that case is of neglect rather abuse .

Parents should be responsible for their children..this includes, morals..high standards..education..to conduct ones self in the correct manner..and also about all the teachings of life..
It should start at an early age to ensure the child has a good grasp of it later on in life..
However, where a parent fails in this duty..I wouldn't call it abuse..it's negligence...

From all point of view, parents are responsible for the proper up bring of their childern.
From the Bibile point of view, Parents are expected to train up a their child in the way he should grow and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Parents input sometimes determine 90% of childern output.......what you fail to do today as a parent will one way or the other affect you in the future.

Parents should be held responsible for not training their child. Firstly, it is provided for in the Children's Act and it is fundamental right that each and every child is entitiled to basic education. Then again on moral grounds, parents are required to be responsible for the upbringing of their children in that the child one way or the other did not ask to be born but all things being equal, came to the world through the collective decision of both parents.

even though parents have the primary responsibility for bringing up their children, what needs to happen when parents do nt have enough resources themselves?
So if a poor family is not able to send thier children to school because they cannot affor the fee, who has to do what?
Thats one of the reasons that the govt. needs to come in with policies and programs so that the reources reach everybody..even the child who is dependent on parents.
For example- India's chidlren between the age 6-14 have fundamental right to have free education. and thats ensured by the Govt.
Similary, there are programes which address health and nutrition needs of children in teh age group of young children.

You are right Shweta-sj, and again parent should endeavor to know much about family planning, eg you can see parents over children themselves till extend they can't even feed them talkless of sending them to school, I think government are not to blame here but must do everything to ensure that every parent are giving adquate family planning enlighting. Alot of Parents in the rural areas hardly know how to control birth rate- like making use of contraspectics etc, so we/government has to play a vital rule here to strenghting this issue.
