北卡對於您們這種情況的法律是
14 318.2. Child abuse a Class 1 misdemeanor.
(a) Any parent of a child less than 16 years of age, or any other person providing care to or supervision of such child, who inflicts physical injury, or who allows physical injury to be inflicted, or who creates or allows to be created a substantial risk of physical injury, upon or to such child by other than accidental means is guilty of the Class 1 misdemeanor of child abuse.
(b) The Class 1 misdemeanor of child abuse is an offense additional to other civil and criminal provisions and is not intended to repeal or preclude any other sanctions or remedies.
(c) A parent who abandons an infant less than seven days of age pursuant to G.S. 14 322.3 shall not be prosecuted under this section for any acts or omissions related to the care of that infant. (1965, c. 472, s. 1; 1971, c. 710, s. 6; 1993, c. 539, s. 223; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 14, s. 13; c. 24, s. 14(c); 2001 291, s. 4.)

如果您們因此而獲罪,您們面對的是30天到六個月的刑期( if that maximum punishment is more than six months imprisonment, it is a Class 1 misdemeanor),相信您們夫妻都沒有嘗試過北卡監獄中的牢飯,所以不妨對這個案件自己DIY一番,相信您們絕對不會失望的.
同時您如果認為另外一位朋友的話很"mean",您們不妨想清楚,這個朋友說實話還有些良心願意罵您,對於如在下這種看盡人事無常的老貓,說句不中聽的,您不要以為老貓心很好,不會罵人,老貓其實是"事不關己",所以無需上火. 因此,您們要不要找律師,隨您.
同時您們最好準備面對The North Carolina Division of Social Services 未來可能的行動.
