The term negligent, comes from the Latin negligentia, and is the lack of care, such behavior usually implies a certain risk for the person or for third parties and is produced thanks to the omission of the calculation of the consequences that may happen for not foreseeing some action. For example, a citizen who talks on the phone while driving a car is committing negligence, since it has been proven that performing two activities such as talking on the phone while driving deconcentrates the person who drives and can cause an accident.
Said act is punishable by law, whether civil or criminal as the case may be. The crime or guilt is given by the omission of the appropriate conduct to avoid the problem caused.
Negligence is not always visible or physical as mentioned in the previous case, it can also be psychological and it is when mental damage is caused to a person, there is not always enough evidence to find and blame those responsible. When a person is psychologically abused and more so when he is a minor who is under the guardianship of an adult, the dynamics of abuse usually have more components that go beyond the aggressor and his prey, since there may be one or more witnesses potentials and that's when the neglect happens, as they stay away from the situation without doing anything to stop the abuse.
In cases like this, the negligence can come from a parent or friends, generating very severe damage almost like the abuse itself, since the victim must not only keep in mind the memory of the baseness suffered, but also their trust for others becomes his worst weakness.
In the medical context, negligence can also be applied and refers to errors or omissions of techniques of the profession by technical and auxiliary personnel of the health disciplines, causing injuries and even more serious death. This type of event can be punished by the courts, since the family of the affected person can sue the medical personnel for failing to comply with and not following the stipulated rules.
