Child abuse is a physical injury inflicted on a child in a manner that is not accidental. In addition to slapping, hitting, and out-of-control spanking, child abuse includes emotional and sexual abuse of a child. Neglect, willful cruelty, and unjustified punishment that results in physical pain or mental suffering are also considered child abuse.
Child endangerment is an indirect form of child abuse. It occurs when a child is allowed to witnesses the physical abuse of another.
People in a long list of occupations, from doctors and nurses to employees of photo processing stores, are required by law to report any suspicions of child abuse. A report by a teacher or day care provider triggers an investigation by Child Protective Services (CPS). The children may be removed from your custody immediately and—sometimes—permanently.
Our criminal defense attorneys know that false allegations of child abuse are common. They are frequently made during the heat of an argument, or as a tactic to gain advantage in a divorce or custody battle.
Our attorneys will listen carefully to your description of events, thoroughly investigate all charges, organize the facts, and build a strong defense. We are excellent negotiators who will work to get the charges against you reduced.
