OPINION OF THE COURT
Harold Fertig, J.
Upon oral motion, the defendant, at the close of the People’s case, requested dismissal of the fourth count of the indictment charging defendant, Dora Villacis, with endangering the welfare of a child, under Penal Law § 260.10 (1), for failure of the *569People to make out a prima facie case. The defendant also questioned the constitutionality of the statute for a reason other than that addressed by this court.
Does the intent of Penal Law § 260.10 (1) encompass the protection of one peer instead of protecting both peers whose life experiences are so similar?…
