“[t]he term ‘may,’ as used in [Section 30-6-1(D)(1) ], does not connote a mere possibility, however remote, that harm may result from Defendant’s acts____ [T]he legislature intended the phrase ‘may endanger’ to convey a more restrictive meaning in child abuse cases, i.e., ‘a reasonable probability or possibility’ that the child will be endangered.”
