Child Endangerment in Michigan

Michigan law harshly punishes individuals that place children in danger. A wide variety of acts qualify as ‘child endangerment,’ so each case varies greatly. If you or a loved one is being investigated for child endangerment, it’s crucial to have an experienced attorney battling on your behalf. A child endangerment conviction does not require the child to have suffered an actual injury, so it is very possible for innocent people to face prosecution and potentially suffer wrongfully. A skilled CPS attorney who knows the ins and outs of Michigan law will know how to best protect you from unjust charges. He or she will review every detail of your case, and even conduct an independent investigation if necessary to prove your innocence. The sooner you reach out to a lawyer, the better your chances are of receiving your desired results. When your future and wellbeing of your family is on the line, don’t settle for second-rate defense.

What Is Child Endangerment?

Every case is different, but there are several guidelines as to what behaviors commonly qualify as child endangerment:

• When an individual purposefully causes or allows a child to be placed in a dangerous situation.
• When an individual purposefully causes or allows a child in his or her care to be injured in some way.
• When an individual causes or allows a child to suffer unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering.

The child does not have to suffer an actual injury for you to be charged with child endangerment. For example, if you leave a child alone with a caregiver who has a history of abusive behavior, you could be charged with child endangerment whether or not the child was harmed. Simply placing the child in a potentially harmful situation is enough to constitute criminal charges. The potential penalties are severe, and may even include jail time. You may be charged with a misdemeanor or felony, depending on the details of your alleged offense.
