What defines child endangerment?

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon

My step mother got upset at me for leaving a can of wasp pesticide on a counter top, calling it child endangerment.
Either myself or my fiance was supervising my 3 year old the entire time it was on the counter.

Since she was under supervision, and went nowhere near the can, is it still child endangerment?

Your step mother is an idiot.

It is certainly not wise to leave a can of wasp spray where a child can get it, but by itself the action would not generally be sufficient to constitute a crime.
