Punching your fiance in front of your baby ON CAMERA was probably not a smart move, Amber!
Teen Mom Amber Portwood is in a lot of trouble for attacking her fiance, Gary Shirley, in front of her baby, because in Indiana, domestic violence in front of a child under 14 years of age can be a felony.
According to police in Anderson, Indiana, Amber may face felony charges in her case. Not only that, but Amber is also going to be investigated by the Department of Child Services (DCS).
DCS will interview people including friends, neighbors, and other witnesses, and they have the right to do so according to the following Indiana state law:
“Failure to report child abuse/neglect is a crime … Indiana law requires any person who has reason to believe that a child is a victim of abuse or neglect to make an immediate oral report to DCS or to law enforcement.”
Indiana’s DCS is currently in the assessment phase of their investigation, but they’ll be requesting interviews with everybody who knows Amber and Gary soon.
Sounds like a serious mess that Teen Mom’s gotten herself into!
What do U think of Teen Mom’s situation? Do U think she deserves felony charges?
