No not with child abuse, but child endangerment. She will be charged with abuse if she abuses her child!
(i am a law enforcement officer)
Difficult to answer simply. No, not in a legal sense. Attempted murder is a completely different offence. Of course the attempted murder of a child IS abuse but the charge is different, it may also be an additional charge. Being charged with child abuse is not the same as being charged with the attempted murder of a child.
Yes
Tell someone you can trust and get help.
no he has pressed charges on her for child abuse
this called child abuse
Florida restricts all spanking as child abuse. Florida law states that any act that can physically or mentally hurt a child is considered child abuse and you can be charged with a felony for it.
Yes if there is a law suite
This decision would be up to the district attorney and/or child protective services. I doubt it would ever happen. Lack of involvement by the absent parent is not a defense to child abuse.
David J. Pelzer did not get charged with any crimes. He is a survivor of child abuse and has written several books detailing his experiences.
no.
In "A Child Called It," David's mother forced him to sleep in the basement, starve him, and subjected him to physical and emotional abuse.
If she is not the one with custody, yes.
