IN THIS PAPER, WE CONCEPTUALIZE THE PHENOMENON OF CHILD NEGLECT IN A PARTICULAR CONTEXT OF PARENTAL MIGRATION AND EXAMINE WHAT ARE THE LINKS BETWEEN PARENTAL ABSENCE AND THE NEGATIVE BEHAVIOUR OF THEIR CHILDREN. OUR ANALYSIS IS BASED MAINLY ON OUR EMPIRICAL RESEARCH WITH THE PARTICIPATION OF MOLDOVAN ADOLESCENTS IN CONFLICT WITH THE LAW WHOSE PARENTS WERE OR HAD BEEN IN MIGRATION. WE FOUND THAT IN THE APPRAISAL OF THE CAUSALITY OF THE MINORS' DELINQUENCY, IT IS CLEAR THAT THE FREQUENCY AND THE QUALITY OF MAINTAINED RELATIONS WITH MIGRANT PARENT(S) AND WITH THE CAREGIVER AT HOME ARE OF CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE.
