D'Banj May Face This Legal Punishment For The Death Of His Toddler Son

There are indications that the Lagos State Government may charge singer D'Banj and his wife to court over the accidental demise of their son.

D'Banj and his late son

Lawyers on social media believe the Nigerian State could have a case against D'banj over the seeming careless manner his child passed on.

According the pool of public opinions, the circumstances through which the toddler passed on reeks of recklessly and his guardians might have a date with the law to explain their roles in the accident.

In most states, child abuse or negligence may be charged as either a felony or a less serious offence, depending on the circumstances.

The most severe cases of child abuse can carry felony lifetime sentences, while the least serious cases are considered gross misdemeanors which could potentially result in no prison time.

Punishment will typically be more severe if the offender has a prior record of criminal child abuse activity and greatly reduced if there is no prior record.

For sentencing purposes, a person charged with child abuse or negligence may enter a plea of guilty, not guilty, or no contest. In a large number of cases, sentencing can include probation or a prison term of up to five years. Sentencing in more serious cases may include a longer prison term.

Other possible penalties and/or consequences can include:

Lifetime requirement to register as a child sexual offender
Termination of parental rights
Ruined reputation
No right to bear a child
Criminal record
Supervised access to the child
Physical or actual loss and enjoyment of a child
Continual involvement with a child protective services agency.

In as much as the Nigerian social media space has been saturated by sympathizers, some people have frankly recommended that the pool should be hedged to serve as a barrier that protects kids from drowning.
