CHILD ENDANGERMENT IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE THAT INVOLVES THE SUBJECTION OF MINOR CHILDREN TO INAPPROPRIATE OR DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. IT IS NOT THE SAME AS CHILD ABUSE, BUT CARRIES A SIMILAR PENALTY IN THE AMERICAN JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

IT MAKES ONE WONDER IF PEOPLE EVEN THINK TWICE ABOUT THE SAFETY AND WELL BEING OF THEIR CHILDREN.

THOUSANDS OF PARENTS LEAVE THEIR ALMOST HELPLESS CHILDREN UNATTENDED FOR HOURS ON END WHILE THEY HAVE A LITTLE"ME" TIME. CHILD ENDANGERMENT IS AN EVERYDAY OCCURENCE
