Long Beach, Child Abuse by 16 Year Old Mom, Attorney Success # 1
Our client, a sixteen year old mother of an infant girl and drug abuser, was arrested for alleged child abuse. She allegedly threw a bottle at her two month old daughter, but missed, hitting the child’s carrier. The bottle bounced off the carrier, hitting the baby’s face and cutting her lip.
Our client immediately took the baby to the pediatrician’s office to have the laceration examined. The doctor reported our client to the Long Beach Police Department and filed a SCAR (Suspected Child Abuse Report) Report. The Long Beach Police Department then visited our clients home to interview her and see the baby's injuries.
Upon arrival to our client’s house, officers asked our client several questions and asked to see the baby. While the officers were at the location, a social worker arrived, interviewed our client and decided to take the baby into DCFS (Department of Child & Family Services) custody. The officers assisted the social worker by placing the child in the car seat and the social worker left with the baby.
Our client called our office when the Long Beach Police asked to interview her a second time. Greg Hill was present during the police interview and attempted to control the scope of the questions. Nevertheless, our client was charged with one count of Child Abuse (Penal Code § 273 (a)), a misdemeanor.
Greg Hill then negotiated a plea bargain for our client in which she agreed to plea no contest to Penal Code § 273(a), but was spared time in custody. She was given two years of formal probation, ordered to pay a small fine, ordered to complete high school and complete a drug rehabilitation program. As part of the plea bargain, our client’s daughter would be returned to her upon her completion of the drug rehabilitation program. Our client indeed did complete the rehabilitation program and she was reunited with her child.
Had our client fought her case at trial and been found guilty, she faced a maximum of six months in the California Youth Authority, as our client was minor.
