I am afraid that this is the time to call upon family and friends to assist with legal fees. A Malicious punishment of a child offense can have grave consequences resulting uin jail time, fines an, if convicted, severe collateral consquences related to employment.

From a criminal law perspective, it is important to avoid talking to police or anyone but your lawyer about criminal allegations. After that, the most important thing is to get the best legal help you can. If you are incapable of retaining a good private criminal lawyer, then apply for a public defender.
