Nevada understands the negative effect of domestic violence and child abuse on a child's well-being. As such, it has laid a hefty set of penalties for domestic violence with child abuse in the state's revised statutes. Those penalties are discussed below.
- Willfully abusing a child at 14 years of age and below, including physically hurting the child or willfully neglecting the child's needs, counts as a category A felony and can be meet with anything between a year and life in prison
- If no substantial harm was done to the child, the offender is instead charged with a category B offense, and can face either of the following:
- For first-time offenders, anywhere between a year and six years of jail time on top of fines and fees
- For repeat offenders, between two to fifteen years minimum
- Child abuse that results in the death of the child is upgraded to a first-degree murder charge and can net even more severe penalties for the offender
