Understanding Child Abuse Charges in California

Corporal Injury to a Child

At Virtuoso Criminal and DUI Lawyers, we recognize that facing charges related to child abuse, specifically under California Penal Code § 273d, can be overwhelming and distressing. Defending against these allegations is of utmost importance to protect your rights and safeguard your family’s future.

Understanding Penal Code § 273d

Penal Code § 273d addresses cases of corporal injury to a child. It is a criminal offense to inflict cruel or inhuman physical punishment on a child, which results in a traumatic condition or injury. These charges apply when the victim is a minor under the age of 18, and the accused person had a legal responsibility to care for or protect the child.

Penalties and Consequences

Convictions under Penal Code § 273d can lead to severe consequences, including:

• Potential imprisonment.
• Restraining orders.
• Loss of child custody rights.
• A permanent criminal record.

Child abuse allegations can have life-altering repercussions, including damage to one’s reputation, career, and personal relationships. It is imperative to seek competent legal representation to navigate these charges effectively.
