Under California law, Child abuse can include emotional abuse, slapping, pushing, hitting, and neglect. Child abuse is considered a ‘wobbler’, that is, you could face felony or misdemeanor charges based on your case specifics.
If you’re facing child abuse charges, the prosecutor under the California Penal Code Section 273d, is likely to argue that you intended and knowingly inflicted physical harm on a child resulting in a traumatic punishment or injury. Even though child discipline is allowed under California law, if the discipline is deemed excessive, it may lead to child abuse charges.
The best course of action if you’re accused or charged with child abuse is to immediately consult an experienced child abuse defense attorney. Remember, an accusation is not a conviction, and we are here to provide you with a robust defense.
