Seminole County Domestic Violence Child Abuse Charges If Children Are Present
Officers in Seminole County, Florida can charge parents with domestic violence child abuse if your children are present during a domestic violence incident. The domestic violence child abuse charge or charges are in addition to any other domestic violence charges from the incident. The theory is that witnessing domestic violence by one or both of your parents harms the child’s mental health and, therefore, that harm constitutes domestic violence child abuse. Unlike domestic violence battery, which is normally a misdemeanor, domestic violence child abuse is a felony. Additionally, the Florida Department of Children and Families is going to get notified by the Seminole County officers of the incident and the Florida Department of Children and Families will conduct an investigation to determine what they believe needs to be done to protect the children.
