    Default How Long Does it Take for Child Abuse Charges to be Filed

    My question involves child abuse or neglect in the State of: Missouri

    17 year old girl was hit, choked & punched by a legal guardian(aunt) & sheriff deputy witnessed the woman lunging at the girl & attempting to further abuse her on July 3rd & had to physically restrain her. Child was removed from home & CPS was contacted to visit the child & record injuries. How long until charges will be filed? The deputy said he could not arrest the woman at the time of the incident as she was not eligible to be put in their jail due to claiming to have broken vertebrae in her back. What happens next? We have heard nothing.

    There may not be any charges filed at all, actually.

    Age may play a factor as well as other things. Police only witnessed the aunt lunging at the teen, correct ?
