Yes, I do. In fact, characterizing it as neglect makes me think even less of this. It's essentially "if you don't raise your kids the way you're told then you're neglecting then and we will be forced to intervene".
I think that this cutoff point is in there to make sure that the law gets evenly applied. Otherwise CPS would have to make a judgement call and you can't guarantee that everyone gets equal treatment that way.
