California Corporal Injury On A Child Attorneys

Corporal Injury on a Child Overview – Penal Code section 273d

Corporal injury on a child is defined as the infliction of physical punishment on a child that results in a traumatic condition. Physical punishment is any form of physical contact with the child that results in an injury. The type of contact can range from serious punching or kicking to shoving or pushing a child. More importantly, the physical punishment must be unreasonable or unjustified. Merely disciplining your child for bad behavior will not qualify as corporal injury, so long as it is reasonable and warranted.

Facing a charge of corporal injury on a child is a serious matter. Moreover, a parent even being investigated for corporal injury can have their children removed from their care by social services. It is imperative that you contact the attorneys at Wallin and Klarich when charged with corporal injury on a child.
