Child protection statistics show 516 cases of neglect and 12 cases of abandonment were reported between April and June last year.Spokesperson Cayla Murray said cases of missing children and child abandonment were often reported to the department over the Easter holidays. “This is caused by, among others, children being left alone and parents using substances, in turn they neglect their duty of caring for their children,” she said.
