Child abuse and endangerment are defined as:

• Child abuse is a physical injury inflicted on a child in a manner that is not accidental. In addition to slapping, hitting, and out-of-control spanking, child abuse includes emotional and sexual abuse of a child. Neglect, willful cruelty, and unjustified punishment that results in physical pain or mental suffering are also considered child abuse.
• Child endangerment is an indirect form of child abuse. It occurs when a child is allowed to witnesses the physical abuse of another.

We offer a no-charge consultation and will meet with clients who are incarcerated.

People in a long list of occupations, from doctors and nurses to employees of photo processing stores, are required by law to report any suspicions of child abuse. A report by a teacher or day care provider triggers an investigation by Child Protective Services (CPS). The children may be removed from your custody immediately and—sometimes—permanently.
