The goal of this study is to propose appropriate social work for neglected children and appropriate supporting network systems for them at a community level.(Methods) This study consists of analyses of 163 neglected families(children 0-18) supported by local agency.(Results) Almost all cases were chronic, showing parenting problem, living situation problem, and lack of social skills. Children were getting worse on mental health and behavior.(Conclusion) On the basis of these analyses, we propose, age-dependently, 16 different combinations of supporting network systems including local agency, local school, day care, medical system, and public health.
