Is Child Abuse Considered a Felony in California?
In the state of California, child abuse can be considered either a misdemeanor or a felony; this is dependent on the circumstances of the abuse. Under California Penal Code Section 273(d), willfully inflicting "cruel or inhuman corporal punishment or an injury" on a child is considered a felony offense. In addition, under California Penal Code Section 273a, willfully causing or permitting a child to suffer physical pain, injury, or mental suffering is also considered a felony offense.
If a person is found guilty of felony child abuse in California, they may be faced with substantial penalties, which can include imprisonment, fines, probation, and mandatory counseling. The severity of the penalties will vary depending on the specific circumstances surrounding the case, including the age of the child and the severity of the abuse.
