Description

In order to obtain a conviction under W.Va. Code, 61-8D-4(b) [1988], the State must prove that the defendant neglected a minor child within the meaning of the term "neglect," as that term is defined by W.Va. Code, 61-8D-1(6) [1988], which definition is "the unreasonable failure by a parent, guardian, or any person voluntarily accepting a supervisory role towards a minor child to exercise a minimum degree of care to assure said minor childs physical safety or health." Furthermore, the State must prove that such neglect caused serious bodily injury. However, there is no requirement to prove criminal intent in a prosecution under W.Va. Code, 61-8D-4(b) [1988].
