Me and my now child's father had an argument. He start talking bad about me and all of his kids and my daughter. I was packing to leave he had our 3 month old and he got upset so he pushed the baby into me and start pushing me hard with the baby in my hand then started throwing trash at me. so i still had clothes to get so i tried asking to please get them five times and told him id have to call the police. i end up calling told them what happened even though he didn't harm me he was still taken to jail for dv and i said no i didn't want to press chargers.

Some states automatically file charges for domestic abuse cases. They are aware victims often won't press charges, so the state does it.

He'll probably get out the next morning. They only hold them longer if it's a felony case.

so even if he inly pushed my shoulder and caused no harm and he did throw some sauce on me but that was it

I dont know. If he got put in jail, they might have put charges on him.

That's domestic violence, he should be locked up for 6 months for that.

First off, let me say you're strong for taking action to protect yourself and your child. Domestic violence situations are always tough, no matter the context. In cases like this, even if you choose not to press charges, the authorities might still take it seriously due to the nature of the incident. The stay in jail can vary based on the jurisdiction and the specific case details, sometimes leading to an early release while awaiting further legal proceedings. Stay safe, and always prioritize you and your child's well-being. Keep your support network close! 💪👶
