"Did the Appellate Court properly determine that evidence was sufficient to prove the state's allegation that the defendant had caused or permitted a child 'to be placed in such a situation that its life or limb was endangered' when the Appellate Court determined that there was sufficient evidence to support an uncharged theory of risk of injury to a child, i.e., that 'the defendant's conduct created a risk of harm to the mental health of the child?' "
