Recently my wifes nephew and the mother of his child signed full legal custody of their newborn over to us because DHS in Pennsylvania was going to put the baby into foster care due to a legal matter over a child she had prior to meeting my wifes nephew. I only get part of the story of what really happened but I did find the court docs of her case. I will describe what I think happened and show her charges. I do feel as if she will be convicted of these crimes because all hints indicate it.
She told me she was arguing with her boyfriend of the time and went out to smoke a cigarette to calm down. supposedly while she was outside she claims her 6 month old son was in his walker and fell down a flight of steps. She claims that later on her boyfriend of the time took responsibility and said he accidently dropped the baby. She did not take the baby to the emergency room until 3 days later. As a result of the injusry (which i feel she is not telling the truth of what really happened), Her frst baby has had to go through 2 major surgeries to his head. The DHS worker told my wife and I that the baby has had 2 major surgeries. Other than that DHS has not told us any of the details of that night or the trial. He recommended we do our own research and required that any visits between her and the second baby that we have be supervised visits only. I have found nothing in the court system search that indicates her ex boyfriend was charged with anything. I feel as if he is probably a witness to the prosecution against her. That is my opinion. She has perminantly lost all rights to the first child since then by orders of a judge and she still faces the following charges. Some of these charges if not all are very serious. I was hoping she would get her life back in order so my wife and I can someday allow her to have custody of her 2nd child but I honestly think she is going to be incarcerated for a while. What type of sentence might she be facing with the following charges?
1 18 § 2702 Aggravated Assault
2 18 § 4304 Endangering Welfare of Children -Parent/Guardian/Other Commits
Offense
3 18 § 2702 Criminal Conspiracy Engaging - Aggravated Assault
4 18 § 2701 Simple Assault
5 18 § 2705 Recklessly Endangering Another Person
