A second offense child endangerment is a felony. If found guilty of the felony offense you could be facing mandatory jail time and even time in prison.

People drink and drive, this doesn’t make them criminals. You just have to keep the volume of alcohol in check, but lets be honest sometimes we have more than we should or we have a drink that has more alcohol in it then expected. The bottom line is that people make mistakes.
