In this episode of Navigating Consumer and Family Law Challenges, attorney Amanda Hill, partner at K & H Law Group, addresses the sensitive and complex issue of when parental discipline crosses the line into child abuse. Using a recent national headline as a springboard—a father charged with murder after allegedly overworking his son to death—Amanda explores how California law views corporal punishment, the role of Child Protective Services (CPS), and the intersection of family and criminal law in cases of suspected abuse.
Amanda shares valuable insights for parents navigating custody disputes, understanding their rights, and protecting their children when concerns about discipline, neglect, or abuse arise.
