In Colorado, child abuse is defined as any action that harms or threatens harm to a child. This can include physical and emotional abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect. Child abuse laws apply to any child 16 years of age or younger.
Any behavior that harms or threatens harm to a child’s physical or mental health is considered child abuse and neglect. But what are the main differences between the two?
In instances where neglect or abuse don’t cause serious injury to a child, they are often charged as misdemeanors, though they can be charged as felonies in more severe cases. Any situation where neglect or abuse results in serious bodily injury or death or is intentionally inflicted on a child is generally treated as a felony.
If the abuse of a child results in death, the offender could even be charged with murder or manslaughter. Penalties for felony child abuse and felony child neglect charges can include long-term prison sentences aimed at rehabilitating the offender and preventing future harm to their children. Repeat offenders are also subject to more strict penalties.
Not all reports of child abuse are substantiated after investigation, meaning that there are often false or mistaken accusations. Accusations of child abuse are sometimes based on misunderstandings or malicious claims. It is possible for child abuse charges to be dropped in the state of Colorado, whether it be for false accusations or insufficient evidence.
This is why it’s tremendously important to start building your defense early. It is advisable that you speak with an attorney before contacting law enforcement or child protective services. If you are facing child abuse charges, we strongly encourage you to schedule a free consultation today.
Albani Law has the experience and expertise required to handle these delicate cases. The impacts of a child abuse charge on one’s record can be devastating, and we want to make sure that you have the proper defense for your case. We are committed to providing a strong and thorough defense to help ensure your rights and fight for justice. Contact Albani Law today for trusted and compassionate legal representation.
