Sumario:The objective of this study is to understand the perception of health professionals about the neglect of parents towards their children, through a bibliographical research of textual productions elaborated by psychologists, nurses, social workers and pediatricians. It is a qualitative, exploratory and inductive research. Nine texts were selected, including articles, dissertations and guidance manuals. Among the chosen texts, some parts were selected that dealt with the neglect category, and from there they were interpreted considering all the discussion elaborated in the text of each author. It is concluded that neglect is a serious public health problem, even so, few researches were specifically produced on the subject in all professional categories surveyed. In addition, it has been realized that children from poor families are more vulnerable to acts of parental neglect.
