Yes, if the abuse leads to death of the child. it would be called Infanticide- lit the killing of an infant. These charges could have been applied to the Nixmary Brown homicide and others such as the tragic Nussbaum case some years ago, and what of the dead girl child ( Roxanne Felumero) whose body was found by police divers in the East River, evidentally tossed into the drink, dead or alive. Certainly capital charges can arise.

What is childabuse?

Crime of inflicting physical or emotional injury on a child. The term can denote the use of inordinate physical violence or verbal abuse; the failure to furnish proper shelter, nourishment, medical treatment, or emotional support; incest, rape, or other instances of sexual molestation; and the making of child pornography. Child abuse can cause serious harm to its victims. Estimates of the numbers of children who suffer physical abuse or neglect by parents or guardians range from about 1 percent of all children to about 15 percent, and figures are far higher if emotional abuse and neglect are included. In many cases, the abuser himself suffered abuse as a child. When abuse results in death, evidence of child abuse or battered-child syndrome (e.g., broken bones and lesions, either healed or active) is often used to establish that death was not accidental.Read more: child-abuse
