    The phrase "child abuse and neglect" is sort of vague. Exactly what was he convicted of doing?

    Is it possible, of course, judges can do all sorts of things, and what type of abuse was there, how long ago and does it show that the child is at danger being with him.

    Should he, most likely not on what little info you provided, but it will be the judges opinion of if the child is or is not at risk.
