While I agree with you overall I don't think you'll get much traction here with that framing. I doubt any meaningful proportion of parents are failing to spend time with their kids willingly; more likely is that both parents need to work long hours just to make ends meet. That's a broader social failing, not abuse.
Child neglect is abuse though. There are people who refuse to pay attention to or care for their children, my dad was a good example of this. For the rest it is abuse by the system.
