Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

i was in the hospital and my boyfriend was watching our kids. he stupidly spanked our son for doing something bad and left a mark on his butt. my mom took thing out of hand and went to the cops. now he isnt allowed to be near our kids and he has court coming up. he is afraid he will go to jail. this is his first offence and he isnt an abuser. should he be worried about jail time for this?

When is his court date? Depending on the charges it would be highly recommended to have an experienced lawyer with you defending you and preserving your rights in court. It would also greatly increase the chance of lowering the charges or possible dismissal. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases and reasonable fees, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
