How do YOU define"non-abusive?" If a complaint is made against you and the subsequent investigation discloses that there is probable cause to believe that it is true, yes, you can be charged.

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.

Child Abuse has been defined as an act, or failure to act, on the part of a parent or caretaker that results in the death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual abuse, or exploitation of a child, or which places the child in an imminent risk of serious harm (42 U.S.C.A. § 5106g).Although your question lacks specific details, it is possible the the parent could be charged with child abuse in this case.Since the parent is aware of these acts against the child and has failed to act (i.e. call the police) the child is being abused due to the parent's failure...
