physical neglect is when the body gets badly beaten such as child abuse.

Answer

Physical neglect can be classified as child abuse because if you neglect your child it is essentially abuse. Physical neglect can also relate to anyone who doesn't take care of themselves such as drug abuse, not eating right to the point of malnutrition, not going to the doctor when ill, etc. I see many homeless people on a day-to-day basis who fall into the category of physical neglect. They are exposed to the elements such as extreme heat, cold - they have no shelter. They do not get to eat and when they do it's sometimes from food others have thrown away. If they don't initially have medical problems, they soon develop them from how they're having to live. Their physical health declines causing even more mental health issues. So, physical neglect can occur in many ways even to people who are not homeless, people who have great incomes, anyone.
