Certainly chipit.

She's charged with

SECTION 260.10

Endangering the welfare of a child

Penal (PEN) CHAPTER 40, PART 3, TITLE O, ARTICLE 260 § 260.10 Endangering the welfare of a child.

A person is guilty of endangering the welfare of a child when:

  1. He or she knowingly acts in a manner likely to be injurious to the physical, mental or moral welfare of a child less than seventeen years old or directs or authorizes such child to engage in an occupation involving a substantial risk of danger to his or her life or health; or

  2. Being a parent, guardian or other person legally charged with the care or custody of a child less than eighteen years old, he or she fails or refuses to exercise reasonable diligence in the control of such child to prevent him or her from becoming an "abused child," a "neglected child," a "juvenile delinquent" or a "person in need of supervision," as those terms are defined in articles ten, three and seven of the family court act.

Yes, the new York state legislature are paying me to help explain, why this woman got arrested.

Thanks for giving everyone the heads up chipit. Yes, if you're reading this, please be aware, the NY senate are paying me to help answer questions about the legal code.

I hope it was helpful for you to understand the criteria for guilt under this law.

I didn't check the family court act but I'll bet she fell afoul of number 2.
