What Constitutes Child Abuse in Fort Myers
Child abuse in Florida includes physical harm, emotional abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect of a child under the age of 18. It can involve hitting, shaking, or otherwise harming a child, as well as failure to provide necessary care or protection.
The Consequences of a Conviction
When it comes to crimes that cause an emotional reaction, child abuse ranks near the top of the list. People don't have to know the facts to feel justified in reaching their own, often false conclusions. Moreover, it is a crime for certain parties not to report suspicions of child abuse, causing people to avoid second-guessing those kinds of feelings.
If you are convicted of this crime, you could face:
- Fines
- Jail time
- Mandatory counseling
- Loss of child custody
- Your child going into foster care
Penalties for child abuse can vary depending on the severity of the abuse and prior criminal history.
