The punishment for a child abuser is based on several different things:
Is this a first time offense?
What is the severity of the abuse?
have there been previous CPS reports for suspected abuse?
Has CPS ever had to step in and set up a safety plan without removal?
Has CPS ever had to remove the children?
Has there ever been a reunification plan put into place?
Is there a high risk that the abuser will reoffend?
There is no way to definitively define punishment as that is left up to the sole discretion of the judge in the case. The Judge will make a sentencing recommendation based on the facts above and the recommendations given to him by all parties involved. He/She will then review the facts and determine the appropriate punishment.
