However I guess I was referring to all healthcare system in the US. I believe all over the Europe kid would be tested for free, every year, mandatorily.

Of course maybe some minimum payment would be needed, parents involved, etc. etc. But these are only details.
However the problem itself is not a problem of neglectful parents. It is a problem of healthcare system/educational system and society as whole.
