Prosecutions for homicides that arise out of “passive” misconduct have their own special problems. “Passive” misconduct involves failure to take action when such action is needed and required to avoid some harmful result.

When the child died from that abuse, the mother was charged with both involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment under New York law.
