Child Abuse Charges in Los Angeles County

Child abuse may include physical, sexual or emotional abuse of a child. It may also include the neglect of a child for which you are the parent or guardian. Not only can a child abuse charge result in you losing custody of your child or children, but it can also result in serious criminal penalties.

Willfully inflicting injury upon a child is a felony offense in California, which can result in a state prison sentence of up to 6 years and/or a fine of up to $6,000. Aggravating factors, such as previous child abuse convictions or the use of a deadly weapon, will result in an enhanced sentence and penalties.
