Your Children Can Be Taken From You

You can be charged with child abuse for a range of issues, including:

  • Neglect/inadequate food, clothing, medical care
  • Exposure to domestic violence
  • Exposure to parental drug or alcohol abuse
  • Physical abuse
  • Sexual abuse
  • Emotional abuse

Typically, the Department of Social Services investigates child abuse or neglect allegations. In some cases, the police may also be involved.

Depending on the nature of the alleged abuse, if you are convicted, you could go to jail, be required to complete parenting classes and/or counseling, or lose custody of your children. To prevent these things from occurring, it is best to work with an experienced defense attorney. We understand that in many child abuse cases, people are presumed guilty, regardless of the facts.
