I am a mom of four who stupidly admits to running into the grocery store for 10 minutes with 3 kids in the car with the AC on.  My oldest was 8 and the other 2 were napping.  When I came out of the store a police offier stood waiting and gave me a "warning" but did take my info and let me go.  Needless to say, I'll NEVER do that again but now I found out ----3 weeks later----that he is in fact pressing charges...3 counts of Endangering the welfare of a child.  I have never been in any kind of trouble.  I'm a soccer mom who drives a mini-van who made a terrible mistake.  What might I expect during my court date?  Should I hire a laywer?
