Legal Question in Criminal Law in Iowa

could he go to jail?

My Boyfriend was arrested april 1, becasuse they believed he was endangering his. But we know for sure he wasnt. A week ago, he was informed that kid was his too, he agreed to take care of him. The mother of that kid, she is a drugadict, an alcoholic, and she is really endangering that kid. The fact that, that kid cried when my boyfriend was giving the kid back to her, the kid began to cry, and saying he didnt want to go back with her.could tell us something. He seeing him crying in the back seat of the car, realizes that. So he tried to call her, but she wouldnt pick up the phone, so he tried to stop, so they could talk about what was going on. then he called the police, but he arrested him, wrongly as what i know. She tried to run away out of state with her boyfriend. She almost killed her kid once. My boyfriend has doing anything but caring about that kid. Even though he is not sure is his, he wants to protect him. She doesnt work as what i know. She doesnt even have a stable home. i believe he was missjudged, he is not the one who endangers that kid in this situation, and he has been told he can go to jail 2 years because of that. Can it be possible?

Re: could he go to jail?

If he has been arrested and charged with Endangering a Child, then yes, being convicted and sentenced to jail is a possibility. He should hire an attorney as soon as possible. At that point, you and your boyfriend can discuss the case with his lawyer and decide how best to fight the charges.
