In this situation, Jannah's mother is guilty of medical neglect. This is evident as she failed to provide necessary medical care for Jannah's cut, which ultimately led to an infection.
Jannah recently cut her finger on some glass at the playground near her home. When Jannah showed her very overworked mother what happened, her mother simply told her to rinse the cut with water and put a band-aid on it because she didn’t have time to take her to the doctor for the stiches that Jannah likely needed. Within a few days, Jannah was rushed to the emergency room from school after her teacher noticed Jannah’s cut was infected. What kind of abuse or neglect is Jannah’s mother guilty of in this situation?
