Re: Punishment for child abuse.

Assuming that she either pleads guilty or is convicted of child abuse, the range of possible punishment depends on the particular code section she is charged with violating, and her conduct, that is the extent of and kind of injury to the children etc.

Probation is often available for individuals on a first offense.
