What constitutes a 'Neglected Juvenile'?

A juvenile who is on probation
A minor under 18 years of age with inadequate supervision or care
A minor who is homeless
A juvenile suffering from emotional distress

The correct answer is: A minor under 18 years of age with inadequate supervision or care

The definition of a 'Neglected Juvenile' focuses on the lack of proper supervision or care that a minor under the age of 18 experiences. This encompasses situations where the juvenile's basic needs for safety, shelter, nutrition, and emotional well-being are not being met, often due to the inability or unwillingness of the guardians to provide such care. This concept is crucial for understanding child welfare laws and interventions aimed at protecting children who may be at risk due to neglectful circumstances. The other options describe situations that could relate to a juvenile's well-being but do not specifically capture the essence of neglect as defined in many legal contexts. For example, being on probation involves legal oversight rather than care issues, homelessness may result from various factors beyond neglect, and emotional distress can stem from numerous causes that might not include neglectful care.
