Editing Child neglect (section)

==Experience==
Children may be left at home alone, which can result in negative consequences. Being left at home alone can leave young people feeling scared, vulnerable and not knowing when their parents are going to return.<ref name="nspcc2015" /> The frequency and duration of being left at home alone may range from every evening to several days or even weeks at a time.<ref name="nspcc2015" />

Also, young children may not be provided with a suitable amount of decent food to eat, which is another form of neglect. Children have reported being provided with mouldy food, not having any food in the house, or they were given an insufficient amount of food.<ref name="nspcc2015" />
