Dismissed

Summary: Felony Child Endangerment and Assault Charges DISMISSED! This client is a single mother with 3 children.  She was charged with child endangerment and assault. Long story short, my client’s oldest daughter decided to pack up her toys in a luggage suitcase and run away from home. My client at the time was bathing her two younger kids when the oldest left. A civilian picked up the oldest daughter off the side of the road and brought her back home. However, the civilian decided to pick a fight with my client thinking my client did this on purpose, and decided to file charges against my client for child endangerment without knowing the full story. This is what led to the two charges. Unfortunately, the officers that arrived on the scene took the civilian’s word over my client’s. For almost a year my client has been separated from her kids and the children were put into a foster home. Finally, I was able to obtain all of the discovery and point out to the prosecutors the real truth and that my client was innocent of all charges. Ultimately the DA did the right thing and dismissed all charges!!!
