What is Considered Child Endangerment in Orange County?

A police officer can arrest someone at the scene of an incident if they see him or her do the following:

• Inflicting unjustifiable (extreme) physical pain/mental suffering on a child.
• Allowing the child, or health of the child, to suffer injury.
• Allowing/causing the child to be in a situation where body or health may be endangered.

In a child endangerment case, a person can be charged with allegations of child endangerment if they are shown to do any of these things. You do not have to directly break a law or injure another person - willful, deliberate action that inflicts harm to a child may be grounds for child endangerment.
