Is it neglect for a parent to not give a child milk? my daughter is 12 and resides primarily with her father. because of his wifes weird food habits she is not allowed to drink milk. only soy and she doesn't much of it. she wont take calcium as she can't

As : As long as she is healthy and growing, it would not be considered neglect. You have to show that the other parent is causing harm. Try to work out with a deal with the other person on how to increase intake of calcium. There are some orange juice that are fortified with calcium !
