Child Abuse laws differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction; however, I find it very unlikely that there's any statute that specifically states, "leave bruises on your child for more than 24 hours".

Most statutes state something similar to "The child is free from cruel and unusual punishment from the parent or guardian". Generally, if you're leaving serious bruises, the child probably IS being subjected to cruel and unusual punishment.

Can a child support issue be put in place if in jail?
