A man who pointed a gun at a woman in front of her 5-year-old daughter and announced he would kill the adult can be charged with endangering the welfare of a child, a judge in New York has ruled. The charge was leveled even though the defendant did not inflict physical harm on the child. The judge held that a child who was old enough to understand the incident unfolding in front of her, and likely to be affected by it, could be viewed as endangered by witnessing threats of violence against a parent.
