19 | read: |
20 | 827.03 Abuse, aggravated abuse, and neglect of a child; |
21 | penalties.-- |
22 | (1) DEFINITIONS.--For purposes of this section: |
23 | (a) "Aggravated child abuse" occurs when a person: |
24 | 1. Commits aggravated battery on a child; |
25 | 2. Willfully tortures, maliciously punishes, or willfully |
26 | and unlawfully cages a child; or |
27 | 3. Knowingly or willfully abuses a child and in so doing |
28 | causes great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent |
29 | disfigurement to the child. |
30 | (b) "Child abuse" means: |
31 | 1.(a) Intentional infliction of physical or mental injury |
32 | upon a child; |
33 | 2.(b) An intentional act that could reasonably be expected |
34 | to result in physical or mental injury to a child; or |
35 | 3.(c) Active encouragement of any person to commit an act |
36 | that results or could reasonably be expected to result in |
37 | physical or mental injury to a child. |
38 |
|
39 | A person who knowingly or willfully abuses a child without |
40 | causing great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent |
41 | disfigurement to the child commits a felony of the third degree, |
42 | punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. |
43 | (2) "Aggravated child abuse" occurs when a person: |
44 | (a) Commits aggravated battery on a child; |
45 | (b) Willfully tortures, maliciously punishes, or willfully |
46 | and unlawfully cages a child; or |
47 | (c) Knowingly or willfully abuses a child and in so doing |
48 | causes great bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent |

53 | 775.083, or s. 775.084. |
54 | (c) "Maliciously" means wrongfully, intentionally, and |
55 | without legal justification or excuse. Maliciousness may be |
56 | established by circumstances from which one could conclude that |
57 | a reasonable parent would not have engaged in the damaging acts |
58 | toward the child for any valid reason and that the primary |
59 | purpose of the acts was to cause the victim unjustifiable pain |
60 | or injury. |
61 | (d) "Mental injury" shall mean multiple instances of |
62 | injury caused by the same abuser to the intellectual or |
63 | psychological capacity of a child as evidenced by a discernible |
64 | and substantial impairment in the ability of the child to |
65 | function within the normal range of performance and behavior as |
66 | supported by expert testimony. A person may not give expert |
67 | testimony regarding mental injury unless that person is a |
68 | physician licensed under chapter 458 or chapter 459 who is board |
69 | certified in psychiatry and has devoted professional time during |
70 | the 3 years immediately preceding the date of the occurrence to |
71 | the active clinical practice of, or consulting with respect to, |
72 | a specialty that includes the evaluation, diagnosis, or |
73 | treatment of the condition that is the subject of the offense. |
74 | (e)(3)(a) "Neglect of a child" means: |
75 | 1. A caregiver's failure or omission to provide a child |
76 | with the care, supervision, and services necessary to maintain |
77 | the child's physical and mental health, including, but not |
78 | limited to, food, nutrition, clothing, shelter, supervision, |
79 | medicine, and medical services that a prudent person would |
80 | consider essential for the well-being of the child; or |
81 | 2. A caregiver's failure to make a reasonable effort to |
82 | protect a child from abuse, neglect, or exploitation by another |
83 | person. |
84 |
|
85 | Except as otherwise provided in this section, neglect of a child |
86 | may be based on repeated conduct or on a single incident or |
87 | omission that results in, or could reasonably be expected to |
88 | result in, serious physical or mental injury, or a substantial |
89 | risk of death, to a child. |
90 | (2) OFFENSES.-- |
91 | (a) A person who commits aggravated child abuse commits a |
92 | felony of the first degree, punishable as provided in s. |
93 | 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. |
94 | (b) A person who willfully or by culpable negligence |
95 | neglects a child and in so doing causes great bodily harm, |
96 | permanent disability, or permanent disfigurement to the child |
97 | commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in |
98 | s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. |
99 | (c) A person who knowingly or willfully abuses a child |
100 | without causing great bodily harm, permanent disability, or |
101 | permanent disfigurement to the child commits a felony of the |
102 | third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, |
103 | or s. 775.084. |
104 | (d)(c) A person who willfully or by culpable negligence |
105 | neglects a child without causing great bodily harm, permanent |
106 | disability, or permanent disfigurement to the child commits a |
107 | felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. |
108 | 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. |
109 | (3) AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSES.-- |
110 | (a) If the offense charged under this section is based |
111 | solely on oral statements of the defendant, it shall be an |
112 | affirmative defense to prosecution of that offense that the |
113 | conduct giving rise to the offense was solely speech protected |
114 | by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. This |
115 | affirmative defense shall not apply to speech that was directed |
116 | to inciting or producing imminent lawless action and that was |
117 | likely to incite or produce such action. |
118 | (b) If the offense charged under this section is based |
119 | solely on a claim of mental injury because of a caregiver's |
120 | failure to make a reasonable effort to protect a child from an |
121 | abuser other than the defendant, it shall be an affirmative |
122 | defense to a prosecution of that offense that the defendant was |
123 | a victim of an act of domestic violence as defined in s. 741.28 |
124 | or had reasonable cause to believe that he or she was about to |
125 | become a victim of an act of domestic violence, and the |
126 | defendant had reasonable cause to believe that the action or |
127 | failure to act was necessary in order for the defendant to |
128 | escape from, or protect himself or herself from, the domestic |
129 | violence or to preserve the minor or incompetent person from |
130 | exposure to domestic violence. However, this affirmative defense |
131 | shall not be available to any person in relation to instances of |
132 | child abuse arising after the defense has been previously |
133 | asserted with respect to the same abuser. |
134 | (4) For purposes of this section, "maliciously" means |
135 | wrongfully, intentionally, and without legal justification or |
136 | excuse. Maliciousness may be established by circumstances from |
137 | which one could conclude that a reasonable parent would not have |
138 | engaged in the damaging acts toward the child for any valid |
139 | reason and that the primary purpose of the acts was to cause the |
140 | victim unjustifiable pain or injury. |
141 | Section 2. Paragraph (d) of subsection (1) of section |
142 | 775.084, Florida Statutes, is amended to read: |

177 | enumerated felony, or within 5 years after the defendant's |
178 | release from a prison sentence, probation, community control, |

180 | or lawfully imposed supervision or other sentence that is |
181 | imposed as a result of a prior conviction for an enumerated |
182 | felony, whichever is later. |
183 | 4. The defendant has not received a pardon for any felony |
