Child Care Abuse Charges – Kansas City Lawyers
Serving Missouri and Kansas ● Because Experience Counts
Charges for child care abuse can carry serious penalties … even up to five or six years in jail if the case is severe enough. But parents can sometimes be overly protective and even paranoid – if they find their child is injured or bruised, they may be quick to levy accusations falsely.
