What is the punishment of a 18 year old shoving a 10 year old hardly?

Question

a 10 year old beat up my little sister, so I shoved her, and she told her mom and called the police and said i Hit her. i was arrested and just released waiting for court date. what is the most severe punishment?

Answer 1

All  depends on what you were charge with, If there were no evidence of scars or bruises then it's hard to proof that the 10yr old got hit. Worst case will be getting supervision.

Answer 2

I would charge you with contributing to delinquency, which is a lesser misdemeanor crime, but you could be charged with felony child neglect or child abuse.

There is no telling how much you will be punished not knowing the severity of injury or conditions of the push.  But either way, how can you show your little sister that beating up is not the right thing if you not only did it yourself but to a minor twice lesser your size.
