YOU MUST GET AN ATTORNEY. If they charge you with the endangerment of a minor, you could go to state prison and lose parental rights. Generally this charge can NOT be maintained with such a low alcohol level.
In Fact, a good attorney will be able to have that charge dismissed and have the DUI reduced to a lessor charge thereby saving you money, time in custody, and possibly your license.
