Child endangerment is a serious charge and is considered separate by the state of Georgia in addition to a DUI charge. If you have a child under the age of 14 as a passenger in the vehicle, you may face serious consequences. You may even lose custody of your child in some cases. You need to act quickly in order to decrease the potential consequences of the charges at hand. Many attorneys are not aware that each child in the car under 14 during you arrest counts as a separate DUI offense. This means that you can become a repeat offender with one arrest thus increasing your punishment dramatically.
