How much jail time should a mother with a  young child get for slapping a woman who ran her off the road?

Assuming for the sake of argument that you've accurately presented all the facts, I would say a fine is in order but nothing more.\n\nBeing run off the road is definitely an extenuating circumstance, but slapping someone unprovoked is never acceptable.\n\nThe woman who ran the other woman off the road should separately be on a much larger, pointier hook for what she did.

Motor vehicle infractions do not usually result in jail time, unless they involve drunk driving or willful injury to another person.  If you show the court that you're sorry and you have 3 kids in your care, they'll probably let you off with a fine.\nYour screen name sounds like a set of ham radio call letters.  If it is, then 73 from a fellow ham!

I spent three days in a county jail with a 6 foot tall very angry woman who had just shot her husband in the face.  ummm.. yeah, can somebody please call my daddy???....  the worst part about it was that mine was such a petty crime. horticulturist should never be jailed, i was doing my part to produce more oxygen and eliminate global warming ;O)

In my experience, the overall package is what decides a verdict in this case. Traditionally, it is said that unless there are clear reasons, the courts will side with the mother, but in this - as in any case! - it depends on what you bring forward as proof. I'm tempted to say that unless there are other facts at play (most notably, poor treatment of the children), the individual effect will be limited. Keep in mind that sometimes, the children get a vote themselves (especially if they are older: 10 or so). Good luck!

THERE WOULD JUST BE A FINE IMPOSED, 10 DAYS-JAIL TIME & 60 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE DEPENDING ON STATE YOU RESIDE IN, POSSIBLY; MAYBE THE FAMILY MEMBER COULD/WOULD DROP THE CHARGES & JUST A FINE; AGGRAVATED ASSAULT IS PRETTY SERIOUS THOUGH..HOPE THINGS CAN BE WORKED OUT, MAYBE THE ASSAULTER NEEDS SOME COUNSELLING.

I am assuming it's California and it's over 65 mph.  The answer is it depends on the county.  Here is the basis for fines set forth by Judges in CA\nAmount ($ Range): 1st offense-Not more than $100 2nd offense (within 1 year)-Not more than $200 3rd or subsequent offense (within 1 year)-Not more than $250 Veh. Code §42001(a)(1), (2) & (3)

Record an incident on video. Not sure what the laws are in your area but verbal abuse qualifies as assault here. Have the pissant thrown in jail.

It really depends where you are and the consequences of the assault even if you were in the car while it occurred.\n\nBest case: slight punch, no wounds, no previous conviction, spur-of-the-moment kinda things. You'll get away with a probation asking you to keep the peace for a few months.\n\nWorst case: the guy beated the living daylight out of the vic, you've done this before, you planned it. All bets are off, you could get prison time.\n\nWithout the jurisdiction, I can't give a better estimate.

Had he hit this child and hurt her, he would have been charged with maybe not having control of his car. Most likely a misdemeanor. Had he hit her and she died, most likely he would have been charged with involuntary manslaughter and maybe 3 to 5 years prison but NO Sex Offender Registration. I guess we all need to remember when kids run out in front of us that we should hit them. Isn't it sad that this country has come to that? And the non voting people are the most to blame. \n\nI hope you all can see this is just one stupid instance for being on the registry. I will try to find some more.

Yep..knowling driving with a suspended licenses..second offense..ten days in jail..sounds about right.\nAs for her being pregnant, she maybe able to get a physician to address the court, if he/she feels it would be harmful to her and her unborned baby to sit in jail for ten days. The judge may put her on a gps tracking device, or house arrest until after the birth of her child, and then she may have to do her jail time.\n\nShe should seek the advice of an attorney.\nLegal Aid

A well placed and well timed smack can do wonders. But it must not be excessive. After all a child needs to be reminded that we as parents are there to teach them proper ways to behave. Parents have the responsibility to raise a child (to the best of their ability) to be good citizens. Of course there are always exceptions.

Dear Friend,\n\nThat would depend, I'm sure, on the age of the child.  Leaving a 16 year old unattended in a motor vehicle is fine; leaving a newborn would be a very different story.  Other factors would also apply, such as how hot or cold the car was , whether the car was locked, etc.  All of this would come under child neglect and abuse statutes, and punishments could include fines, imprisonment, or, in the extreme, termination of parental rights.\n\nYour Friend,\nFrancesois

It isn't for excuses, it is so they GET THE POINT!!!!\n\nPutting them in jail would be WORSE, but they deserve to be smacked around for not supporting their children!  \n\nSCUM SCUM SCUM!

Since Michigan law has no minimum age for charging a child as an adult for murder, the maximum would likely be life. Non-violent crime, like the one Amy committed, does not apply, so she would likely not be charged at all, especially if she cooperates.
