Yes, they can consider that, especially if police were called and a report of the incident was made indicating angry behavior. They could consider that sort of physical anger could endanger a child.

If you've been charged with a crime out of this, you need to hire an attorney. Unfortunately, unfounded allegations like this can cause you a ton of trouble.
The notion that a citizen “files” charges is inaccurate. Citizens report what they want to the police. Police investigate. Prosecutor decides whether or not to file charges. Anyone’s report could lead to a prosecution. Many domestic violence cases are reported by friends, family, or neighbors.
I have been accused of a domestic violence charge for no reason and I need help
Can you provide a little more information about your situation?
I don’t want to press charges anymore. What should I do to help?
You can tell the prosecutor, but they’re likely to push forward with the case anyway. The best thing you can do is to help him find an attorney.

Arrest warrants do not expire.
What exactly is your question? We can’t tell you much with the information you’ve provided.
I dont want to be a witness against him and he needs mental health treatment not jail so how can i help him get the charges dropped or dismissed?
Once you ring the bell it cannot be unrung, so whatever you told law enforcement cannot be taken back. If you recant you are opening yourself up to potential perjury / falsification charges. You need to hire a lawyer to represent you. He or she will be able to speak with the prosecutor on your... Read more »

Contact local children's services, which can investigate the situation, and determine what to do about custody.
No one was really injured other than I was bit and she got a scratch.
A standard DV is an M1, up to 180 days, a record, cannot be sealed. If there was serious injury or a pregnancy, the level and penalties are enhanced. It’s a serious charge. The defendant should get a lawyer ASAP.

It really depends on the nature of the charge(s) that can be brought. A standard DV is an M1 carrying up to 6 months. But it’s an escalating offense which means multiple offenses can raise the level. Also, if serious injury is caused, or the woman is pregnant, the level goes up.
