You need to consult with a criminal defense attorney ASAP. It is hard to tell you what will happen next without more facts.

Re: child endangerment

Obtain Counsel ASAP...these case can have many consequences and you will have to be fully advised before going to Court. Usually an Attorney can provide an initial consult w/o charge...this can do a lot to ease your mind and prepare you for the procedure.

Re: child endangerment

Difficult to advise you without knowing more about things like your prior record, where your case is located, the full facts of the case and whether you are charged with a felony or misdemeanor. You should consult an attorney in your area to review and advise you. Most will not charge you for the initial consultation. If you cannot afford a private lawyer, a public defender will be appointed for you. Whatever you do, you must have a lawyer and do not talk to the prosecution or the police.
