  SHAWQUANDA BOROM,
          Defendant-Appellant.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the January 31, 2013
  order of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in lieu of
  granting leave to appeal, we REMAND this case to the Court of Appeals for
  consideration, as on leave granted, of: (1) whether a parent’s failure to act to prevent
  harm to his or her child satisfies the requirement for a knowing or intentional act under
  the first-degree child abuse statute, MCL 750.136b(2), in light of MCL 750.136b(3) that
  separately punishes omissions and reckless conduct as second-degree child abuse; (2) if
  so, whether the failure to prevent a person who may be dangerous to the child to have
  contact with the child violates the first-degree child abuse statute; (3) whether there is a
  common law duty of a parent to prevent injury to his or her child; and, (4) assuming that
  there is such a duty under the common law, whether aiding and abetting under
  MCL 767.39 can be proven where the defendant failed to act according to a legal duty,
  but provided no other form of assistance to the perpetrator of the crime.




                           I, Larry S. Royster, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                     foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
