Because individual children mature at different rates, it may be safer for one family to allow their 10-year-old son to let himself into the house after school while the parents of a 13-year-old can’t do the same thing. Parents also have to take their children’s ability to handle emergencies into account. The biggest question these parents have to look at is whether their children can handle injuries, fire or illness. Once the parents have educated their children on how to contact them, what they can eat for a snack and the importance of staying inside once they are home, the parents need to monitor their children’s ability to follow these rules.

Unless those were felony charges charged by a federal officer, charges and case study in DC is irrelevant to laws and case studies in North Carolina. If you want to produce precedent for such charges, produce a case in North Carolina where the incident in the OP took place. You can't use DC law to charge someone in North Carolina.
In common law legal systems, a precedent or authority is a principle or rule established in a previous legal case that is either binding on or persuasive for a court or other tribunal when deciding subsequent cases with similar issues or facts.
A person commits the crime of cruelty to children in the second degree if that person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly: (1) Maltreats a child or engages in conduct which causes a grave risk of bodily injury to a child;
A child who does not receive proper care, supervision, or discipline from the child's parent, guardian, custodian, or caretaker

Did your stepmom really do that?
I believe you but I thought my life had/was tough, some of us just get an added portion of "fertilizer".
Hon, you must have something seriously important to do in this place to survive that.
Oh, I am off topic.
The topic is stupidity. If we don't fight it, we are lost. We MUST speak against the silent passive agressive tyrany of those who assume control. Assume. You find them in the least positions where they can assert them selves in a narcissistic, magnanamus mannner.

That still doesn't mean you can use DC law to make a case in NC. You have to use NC law to make a case. The laws may exist in both states and be titled differently, but that doesn't mean that you can use a law in one state in court proceedings in another state. If you tried to do that, you'd be laughed out of court.
