What Constitutes Reckless Endangerment of a Child?

Even if a child is never injured following an act of negligence, the reckless actions can be enough for an arrest. The following are possible actions that may lead to criminal charges:

• Exposing child to drug use
• Driving under the influence with children in the vehicle
• Participating in a crime
• Leaving a child unattended

There are two devastating repercussions that may come out of a reckless endangerment of a child conviction. The sentence may overturn a child custody situation or result in misdemeanor or felony criminal charges. These charges may result in incarceration, large fines, and other penalties. If you have been arrested, there is no time to delay seeking legal counsel.
