Article 292

A person who has the custody or charge of a person who is incapable of protecting himself, whether on account of health, age, situation or any other circumstance, and intentionally exposes or abandons such person, thereby putting such person in imminent danger of serious bodily injury,

is guilty of exposure and endangerment of a person to serious bodily injury, a Class 2 petty offence, punishable with a definite term of imprisonment of not less than 1 month and not more than 6 months, or a fine of 5,001 – 20,000 Nakfas, to be set in intervals of 1,000 Nakfas.

The court may in addition deprive the offender of his family or custodial rights for a period of not less than one nor more than 10 years, upon a determination that the nature and circumstances of the offence justify the deprivation.
