The abandonment of a minor child is not necessarily defined as the actual physical leaving of a child, that is a different matter. Abandonment is defined as the non compliance of the obligated parent to financially support his or her biological child. There is of course the act of physical abandonment which is related to the placing of a child in a dangerous or unsuitable environment, in which case several criminal charges would be applicable depending upon the specific circumstances.
