Not entirely sure what your question is.\n\nCalifornia Penal Code section 273.5 has to do with inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or other person with whom you have that kind of relationship.\n\nSection 243(e)(1) has to with with a battery committed against a person you're in the same kind of relationship with.\n\nHope that helps, was there something specific you were wondering about?  There are plenty of other crimes that can be applied to domestic situations as well, but are not necessarily domestic-related in nature.

I am sure there is, ask a lawyer or some women organisations - try ...google... give key words like: women violence at home organisations. If not in your city, call the ones in internet and ask them for local organisations. Normally they have a hot line.\n\nUnfortunately I live outside USA and can't help you concrete

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, too little information has been provided to answer the question adequately.  No legal search I can perform reveals that it is illegal in California.  Without a citation to the law or an exact phrase from the law, I cannot verify that the law exists, and I cannot explain the legislative theory behind the law without the text of the statute.  So far as I can tell, this law does not exist and is merely an urban legend.

So you're absolutely clear on this, there is no legal age in California to be leaving kids alone.  \n\nHowever, and as other posters have mentioned, there are a number of child abuse and neglect laws that can come into play here, and they can result in nearly anything from hefty fines to years in prison.  \n\nIf you know your kids, and trust them to be able to take care of themselves, it's your call.  Of course, it would be good if someone knew you and trusted you to make the right decision about your kids, but that's kind of also left to you.\n\nI have a 15 year old daughter who I would (and do) leave at home, sometimes all day.  I would not do it overnight, both because she doesn't want to, and because I would worry.  I would have left her home at 14...and sometimes at 13....but much younger than that, and I wouldn't have left her home for very long.  \n\nIt really depends on your kid(s), but there is no specific law that says how old a kid has to be.

Abuse is abuse. It doesn't matter who is doing it. The law protects men and women.

Look at the California Business and Professions Code.  You can find it on the internet.

In California I'm pretty sure it's legal. I had one for years. You could always just call the police station and ask. \n.

Each state has its own laws. An example is the CA code, which you can see here: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=pen&group=00001-01000&file=187-199

Contact Child Protection Services in your area and tell them of your situation. I work for CPS in California and we have tons of group homes that specialize in therapeutic treatments for behavioral problems, drug dependency sexual abuse, cutting,etc. Or contact your county's public health department and they should be able to assist you. Good luck to you.

It depends on the state.  If you believe someone is a sex offender, I know in CA we can look it up by going to Megan's Law and type in the area we are looking for.

not in California.  Different states have different laws.

You must always remember that people with authority will more likely that not break abuse it. Example, our current administration in the White house concerning the illegal alien issue is non existant.\nServing drinks to minor's is illegal in most circumstances, but not on private property with an adult it can be legal.\nGoing to Firecalls on the job drunk is a different story, lol.  I dont see it much here in California, but then again i dont know any people in the fire/police world.

In California, you can have an off-site manager for an apartment complex of any size.  But if the complex is 16 or more units, that person needs to have a Ca. Real Estate salesperson license.  If you feel that the 'neglect' of the complex is an issue, report it to the California Department of Real Estate (DRE)- go to www.dre.ca.gov\nYou can get the phone numbers to the area office for your county, and a bunch of other helpful stuff. \n(I have a degree in real estate and escrow- i should know!)\n\nYour landlord has a responsibility to you and all other tennants of the building to guarantee 'quiet enjoyment of dwelling spaces in possession of the tennant'... That's the law.

It is not swept under the rug, at all. In CA, if there is a domestic violence incident without injury, the police still have to take a report. If there is even a slight injury, including scratches, then it is a mandatory arrest of the "dominanat aggressor". Even violation of a DV restraining order is a mandatory arrest.
