I'm at a loss now with what she may have done to "earn" this arrest... it doesn't exactly fit with what we would expect, does it? :waitasec:
I'm thinking the first one but I can't find "occupation" defined in Section 13A. I presume they mean an "activity" not a "profession" but it doesn't match the standard legal definition of "occupation".
I guess we will have to wait and see what they mean and what she did.
Alabama Code - Section 13A-13-6: ENDANGERING WELFARE OF CHILD
(a) A man or woman commits the crime of endangering the welfare of a child when:
(1) He or she knowingly directs or authorizes a child less than 16 years of age to engage in an occupation involving a substantial risk of danger to his life or health; or
(2) He or she, as a parent, guardian or other person legally charged with the care or custody of a child less than 18 years of age, fails to exercise reasonable diligence in the control of such child to prevent him or her from becoming a "dependent child" or a "delinquent child," as defined in Section 12-15-1.
(b) A person does not commit an offense under Section 13A-13-4 or this section for the sole reason he provides a child under the age of 19 years or a dependent spouse with remedial treatment by spiritual means alone in accordance with the tenets and practices of a recognized church or religious denomination by a duly accredited practitioner thereof in lieu of medical treatment.
(c) Endangering the welfare of a child is a Class A misdemeanor.
