Be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, four, or six years, or in a county jail for not more than one year, by a fine of up to six thousand dollars ($6,000), or by both that imprisonment and fine.
Child endangerment can occur in many forms. It can occur when a defendant is driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and has children in the car with them. It can occur while driving with children in the car at a high rate of speed, or recklessly. It can be any situation where the child or children are in a situation where the circumstances are likely to produce great bodily harm.
