Orient constrain problem

I am having a problem with the orient constraint, not sure what to do, when I apply it to the neck of my skeleton it rotates and moves around, but when I bend the character at the hips, the head remains in the straight ahead position. Could anybody please advise ?

Pictures are attached to illustrate the issue.

Might not have all axes checked on it. What exactly is the goal of the head being constrained to where the neck would be anyways. Do you really need a broken hierarchy?

Where is the orient constraint in the hierarchy? Can you take a screenshot of the outliner?
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
