San Diego Child Abuse Attorney

Charged with Child Abuse in San Diego

Child abuse is a serious crime and can mean one or more years in jail. It can also damage one's reputation in the community and cause the loss of one's job.  It can limit one's employment choices in the future.  Doctors and teachers are required to report any indicators of child abuse to authorities.  This can result in charges based on fragmentary evidence.  Yet these charges can wreck one's career and social standing, not to mention one's freedom. You need strong and aggressive defense against these charges.   If you have been charged with child abuse in San Diego, it is crucial that you contact a San Diego criminal defense lawyer to give you the aggressive defense you require.

Child Abuse

Child abuse comes in several forms:

Sexual abuse of the child is very serious. Conviction may require that one be registered as a sexual offender.  This can limit where you live and permanently close many job opportunities.

Child Neglect relates to the failure to provide for the basic needs of a child under one's care including food, shelter and medical care.

Willful Cruelty and Unjustifiable Punishment:  This has to do with undue striking, confining to a closet and other cruel treatment.
