Description
Child endangerment; penalty. Relocates the crime of child endangerment to Title 18.2 (Crimes and Offenses Generally) from Title 40.1 (Labor and Employment) in order to emphasize its general application. The bill removes language that prohibited willfully or negligently causing or permitting a child to be placed in a situation that his life, health, or morals may be endangered and adds language stating that it is child endangerment, a Class 6 felony, to endanger the life or health of a child by willful act or omission that is so gross, wanton, and culpable to show a reckless disregard for human life. Amends § 40.1-103, § 63.2-1530, § 8.01-226.5:2, of the Code of Virginia. View Full Text »
