The severity of the specific child abuse charge depends upon whether or not the child was injured, the nature of the injury, and the state of mind of the actor at the time the injury occurred.

It becomes a class four felony if a person acts "negligently."
If a child is injured but the injury is not "serious bodily injury" it is a class one misdemeanor.

These allegations could be motivated to get the upper hand in a divorce or child custody proceeding.

The same Colorado laws that all but require police to arrest a person during a domestic violence call also forbid a prosecutor from dismissing a domestic violence case unless they believe they cannot prove it at trial.
