Preferred term

abandoned children  

Definition(s)

  • Child abandonment means giving up all claim and interest over an infant with intent of never reclaiming the baby. Mothers surrender offspring for various reasons: mental illness, for example, or poverty, particularly in societies with inadequate social welfare arrangements or in which adoption procedures are difficult or orphanages are rare or overcrowded. [Source: The Social History of Crime and Punishment in America: An Encylopedia; Children, Abandoned]
