UPON A REHEARING EN BANC
ROBERT P. FRANK, Judge.Following a bench trial, Kenneth Ferguson (appellant) was convicted of unlawful wounding in violation of Code § 18.2-51 and felony child neglect in violation of Code § 18.2-371.1(B). Appellant contends the trial court convicted him for malicious wounding on an indictment that charged unlawful wounding, and he requests a new trial for unlawful wounding. Appellant also challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to convict him of the felony child neglect charge. A panel majority of this Court reversed the decision of the trial court as to the felony child neglect, and remanded the other conviction for retrial on an indictment for unlawful wounding. We granted a petition for rehearing en banc at the request of the Commonwealth. Upon rehearing en banc, we reverse the child neglect conviction, affirm the conviction for unlawful wounding, and remand for resentencing on that conviction.
BACKGROUND
On appeal, we examine the evidence in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth. That principle requires us to discard the evidence of the accused in conflict with that of the Commonwealth and to regard as true all the credible evidence favorable to the Commonwealth and all fair inferences that may be drawn therefrom.
Guda v. Commonwealth, 42 Va.App. 453, 455, 592 S.E.2d 748, 749 (2004) (citation omitted).
Applying that standard, the evidence demonstrates that appellant became a foster parent to siblings A.C., “brother,” *431and “sister”1 in June 2000.2 As A.C. explained, “[w]hen [we children] first moved in, everything was fine and dandy. Then after a certain period of time, things changed.”
A.C. explained that appellant began to physically beat the two younger children, mostly upon suspicion of stealing food and money. Appellant would beat the children “with belts and then when that wasn’t working, he started using cable cords.” According to A.C., the beatings took place almost daily. After “brother” began waking up in the middle of the night and taking food from the downstairs pantry, appellant starting chaining “brother” to his bed at night. On some occasions, appellant would make A.C. chain his brother to the bed.
On one occasion, “brother” ate a honey bun belonging to appellant. Appellant took “brother” to the garage to discuss the matter. The conversation ended in anger with appellant striking the child in the head with a telephone, causing “brother” to bleed. A.C. learned of the incident when he discovered “brother” in the garage holding his bleeding head in his hands.
The felony child neglect charge relevant to this appeal relates to appellant’s conduct and events that occurred on December 3, 2003. “Brother” and “sister” had been in trouble and were suspended from school on December 2. Appellant, who had a recording studio located in the church where he worked, woke the children at 2:00 a.m. and ordered them to come with him to the studio. Appellant instructed the younger two children to stand guard outside the studio on this cold December night and watch for vandalism, as a car parked in the studio’s parking lot had recently been damaged by vandals. According to A.C., appellant told him “that the only time [“brother”] and [“sister”] was [sic] allowed inside was to go to the bathroom, [but] that [A.C.] could come in any time *432[A.C.] wanted to.” A.C. remembered that he was wearing “a hoodie, a pair of jeans and a T-shirt.” While the children were standing guard outside, appellant “went into their recording room and was working on some new stuff, then he fell asleep.”
At 5:30 a.m., A.C. began calling his aunt to ask her if she could come get them. A.C. finally reached her at 7:00 a.m., and, upon his aunt’s suggestion, A.C. started walking with “brother” and “sister” along the highway leading away from the studio. At about 7:30 a.m., the aunt picked the children up at a location that was approximately a thirty-minute walk from the studio. According to the aunt, “it was freezing out[side].”
Several neighbors testified that the children had a bad reputation for truthfulness. In addition, “brother,” who had some special needs, also had a problem with stealing. On the issue of credibility, however, the trial court specifically found the Commonwealth’s witnesses more credible than appellant. The trial court found appellant guilty of two counts of malicious wounding, one count of abduction, and five counts of felony child neglect.
This appeal follows.
ANALYSIS
I, En Banc Review
Appellant was convicted of several charges and was awarded an appeal to this Court. On appeal he argued the sufficiency of his convictions. A published panel opinion affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded in part. See Ferguson v. Commonwealth, 50 Va.App. 351, 649 S.E.2d 724 (2007). We granted the Commonwealth’s petition for a rehearing en banc on the issues of sufficiency of an unlawful wounding conviction, sufficiency of a felony child neglect conviction, and whether to remand for retrial or resentencing. Appellant did not petition for rehearing en banc on the issues of sufficiency that were affirmed by the panel opinion. For the following reasons, we *433hold that we do not address en banc the issues raised in appellant’s panel opening brief but were not subject to the petition for rehearing en banc. Thus, the decision of the trial court on appellant’s unchallenged convictions remains undisturbed and we reinstate the panel opinion on the issues not before us.
This Court has previously observed that the “grant of en banc review vacates the prior panel opinion in toto. ...” Glenn v. Commonwealth, 49 Va.App. 413, 423 n. 3, 642 S.E.2d 282, 287 n. 3 (2007) (en banc); see also Moore v. Commonwealth, 51 Va.App. 1, 3 n. 1, 654 S.E.2d 305, 306 n. 1 (2007) (“Our en banc order had the effect of vacating the panel opinion.”). To vacate an order or a judgment is to “nullify or cancel; make void; invalidate.” Black’s Law Dictionary 1584 (8th ed. 2004). Thus, this Court’s grant of the petition for en banc review voided the decision of the panel as to the issues before this Court en banc.
We are limited to the issues presented in the Commonwealth’s petition. Thus, the only issues currently before us are the ones raised in the petition for rehearing en banc.
II. The Unlawful Wounding Indictment
Appellant contends the trial court erred by convicting and sentencing him on a charge of malicious wounding of “brother” where the indictment did not charge that appellant acted with malicious intent. The indictment in question read:
[Appellant], Between the 19th day of June, 2000, through the 3rd day of December, 2003, feloniously, with intent to maim, disfigure, disable or kill, did shoot, stab, cut, wound or cause bodily injury to [“brother”] in violation of §§ 18.2-51 of the code of Virginia (1950) as [amended].
The Commonwealth responds that the trial court properly convicted appellant of unlawful wounding, yet erroneously imposed a sentence in excess of the statutory maximum for unlawful wounding. Arguing that Legette v. Commonwealth, 33 Va.App. 221, 532 S.E.2d 353 (2000), controls, the Commonwealth requests that the case be remanded for resentencing *434on the conviction for unlawful wounding of “brother.” We agree.
In Legette, although the accused was indicted and convicted on a charge of unlawful wounding, the trial court sentenced Legette for malicious wounding. Id. at 228, 532 S.E.2d at 356. This Court reversed and remanded for new sentencing consistent with the indictment and conviction. Id.
Here, appellant contends that because the trial court orally announced, “I am going to find the [appellant] is guilty of malicious wounding of ... [“brother”] as charged in [the] indictment[ ],” the trial court convicted appellant of malicious wounding. While we agree that the trial court used the words “malicious wounding” in the pronouncement of guilt, the written conviction order relating to the wounding of “brother” states, “the Court finds [appellant] GUILTY as charged in said indictment, to-wit: Felonious Assault (Virginia Code Section 18.2-51).”3
Settled principles provide that “[a] court speaks through its orders and those orders are presumed to accurately reflect what transpired.” McBride v. Commonwealth, 24 Va.App. 30, 35, 480 S.E.2d 126, 128 (1997); see also Stamper v. Commonwealth, 220 Va. 260, 280-81, 257 S.E.2d 808, 822 (1979) (holding that when a court’s statements from the bench conflict with its written order, the order controls).
We note that the indictment for the wounding of “brother” lacks any reference to malice and therefore charges only an unlawful wounding. Based on the trial court’s written order, we find that the trial court convicted appellant of the offense charged in the indictment, specifically, unlawful wounding.
III. Sufficiency of the Evidence
When considering on appeal the sufficiency of the evidence presented below, we “presume the judgment of the trial court to be correct” and reverse only if the trial court’s decision is *435“plainly "wrong or without evidence to support it.” Davis v. Commonwealth, 39 Va.App. 96, 99, 570 S.E.2d 875, 876-77 (2002); see also McGee v. Commonwealth, 25 Va.App. 193, 197-98, 487 S.E.2d 259, 261 (1997) (en banc). Under this standard, “a reviewing court does not ‘ask itself whether it believes that the evidence at the trial established guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.’ ” Myers v. Commonwealth, 43 Va.App. 113, 118, 596 S.E.2d 536, 538 (2004) (citation omitted and emphasis in original). It asks instead whether “any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.” Kelly v. Commonwealth, 41 Va.App. 250, 257, 584 S.E.2d 444, 447 (2003) (quoting Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319, 99 S.Ct. 2781, 2789, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979)) (emphasis in original). Thus, we do not “substitute our judgment for that of the trier of fact” even if our opinion were to differ. Wactor v. Commonwealth, 38 Va.App. 375, 380, 564 S.E.2d 160, 162 (2002). In addition, “[wjitness credibility, the weight accorded the testimony and the inferences to be drawn from proven facts are matters to be determined by the fact finder.” Foster v. Commonwealth, 38 Va.App. 549, 554, 567 S.E.2d 547, 549 (2002).
A. The Unlawful Wounding Conviction
Appellant contends the evidence is insufficient to sustain the conviction for the malicious wounding of “brother.”4
Code § 18.2-51 defines unlawful wounding:
If any person maliciously shoot, stab, cut, or wound any person or by any means cause him bodily injury, with the intent to maim, disfigure, disable, or kill, he shall, except where it is otherwise provided, be guilty of a Class 3 felony. If such act be done unlawfully but not maliciously, with the intent aforesaid, the offender shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony.
*436In Harbaugh v. Commonwealth, 209 Va. 695, 167 S.E.2d 329 (1969), the Virginia Supreme Court noted:
[W]hile parents or persons standing in loco parentis may administer such reasonable and timely punishment as may be necessary to correct faults in a growing child, the right cannot be used as a cloak for the exercise of uncontrolled passion, and that such person may be criminally liable for assault and battery if he inflicts corporal punishment which exceeds the bounds of due moderation. We said that where a question is raised as to whether punishment had been moderate or excessive, the fact is one for the [fact finder] to determine from the attending circumstances, considering the age, size and conduct of the child, the nature of the misconduct, and the kind of marks or wounds inflicted on the body of the child.
Id. at 697-98, 167 S.E.2d at 332.
While Harbaugh dealt with assault and battery, this Court affirmed a conviction for malicious wounding under similar circumstances in Campbell v. Commonwealth, 12 Va.App. 476, 405 S.E.2d 1 (1991). There, a stepfather struck his three-year-old stepson fifteen times with a belt and caused injuries that required hospitalization. This Court upheld the conviction for malicious wounding, recognizing that while “ ‘a parent has a right to punish a child within the bounds of moderation and reason,’ he or she is not legally justified in doing so to the extent that it ‘exceeds due moderation.’ ” Id. at 483, 405 S.E.2d at 4 (quoting Carpenter v. Commonwealth, 186 Va. 851, 861, 44 S.E.2d 419, 423 (1947)). Furthermore, “if a person intentionally takes an action, the probable consequence of which is the permanent disability of another, even if permanent disability does not result, he or she can be found to have intended to cause a permanent disability.” Id. at 484, 405 S.E.2d at 4-5.
Here, the evidence, taken in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, shows that appellant struck “brother” in the head with a telephone. The blow, which broke the skin and caused “brother” to bleed, was motivated by the child taking a *437pastry from the food cabinet and subsequently lying about it. From this evidence, the trial court was able to reasonably conclude that appellant intended to injure the child without lawful justification. See Campbell, 12 Va.App. at 483, 405 S.E.2d at 4 (“The critical issue is ... the intent with which the injuries were inflicted.”).
The trial court sentenced appellant on the unlawful wounding conviction to twenty years imprisonment with fifteen years suspended. Unlawful wounding, a Class 6 felony, is punishable by a maximum term of five years imprisonment. See Code § 18.2-10. As the trial court erroneously sentenced appellant in excess of the statutory maximum, we remand this issue to the trial court with instructions to re-sentence appellant in accordance with his Class 6 conviction. Legette, 33 Va.App. 221, 532 S.E.2d 353.
B. The felony child neglect charge
Appellant argues that his actions in ordering his foster child to stand outside in a parking lot on a cold December night were not so gross, wanton, and culpable as to show a reckless disregard for the child’s life. In so arguing, he contends that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his conviction for felony child neglect.
Code § 18.2-371.1(B)(1) states:
Any parent, guardian, or other person responsible for the care of a child under the age of 18 whose willful act or omission in the care of such child was so gross, wanton and culpable as to show a reckless disregard for human life shall be guilty of a Class 6 felony.
As the Virginia Supreme Court recently held in Jones v. Commonwealth, 272 Va. 692, 636 S.E.2d 403 (2006), “[w]hen considering the level of danger necessary to support a conviction under Code § 18.2—371.1(B)(1), we have held that ‘the act done must be intended or it must involve a reckless disregard for the rights of another and will probably result in an injury.’ ” Id. at 701, 636 S.E.2d at 408 (quoting Barrett v. Commonwealth, 268 Va. 170, 183, 597 S.E.2d 104, 111 (2004)).
*438“Conduct that is ‘gross, wanton and culpable’ demonstrating a ‘reckless disregard for human life’ is synonymous with ‘criminal negligence.’ ” Id. (quoting Cable v. Commonwealth, 243 Va. 236, 240, 415 S.E.2d 218, 220 (1992)). As this Court has held,
Criminal negligence ... is judged under an objective standard and, therefore, may be found to exist where the offender either knew or should have known the probable results of his acts. Thus, criminal negligence “is acting consciously in disregard of another person’s rights or acting with reckless indifference to the consequences, with the defendant aware, from his knowledge of existing circumstances and conditions, that his conduct probably would cause injury to another.”
Kelly v. Commonwealth, 42 Va.App. 347, 356, 592 S.E.2d 353, 357 (2004) (quoting Tubman v. Commonwealth, 3 Va.App. 267, 271, 348 S.E.2d 871, 873 (1986)) (other citations omitted). “ ‘[W]illful,’ as used in the statute, refers to conduct that must be knowing or intentional, rather than accidental, and be done without justifiable excuse, without ground for believing the conduct is lawful, or with a bad purpose. Thus, the term ‘willful’ ... contemplates an intentional, purposeful act or omission.” Commonwealth v. Duncan, 267 Va. 377, 384-85, 593 S.E.2d 210, 214-15 (2004) (citations omitted).
In Barrett, an infant was drowned when his two-year-old sister placed him in a bathtub. The evidence established that Barrett knew that her daughter was jealous of her infant brother and had a “propensity for attempting to injure [him].” 268 Va. at 184, 597 S.E.2d at 111. Barrett also knew that her daughter liked to play in the bathtub and was able to operate the tub’s faucets by herself. Barrett said that her daughter had “tried in the past” to kill the infant. Id.
The Supreme Court determined that the mother had knowledge of many facts that should have forewarned her that an injury was likely to occur. Id. at 185, 597 S.E.2d at 112. The Court held that the evidence clearly showed that conduct by *439Barrett had also subjected her daughter to “a substantial risk of serious injury or death.” Id. at 186, 597 S.E.2d at 112.
The evidence reveals that A.C. was 17 years, 7 months old. He was appropriately dressed for the winter temperature, and he had complete access to the building with no restrictions. He was not continually exposed to the harsh winter conditions outside, nor was he required to guard against potential criminal activity. Thus, while we do not condone appellant’s treatment of A.C., we cannot conclude that appellant demonstrated a reckless disregard for A.C.’s health and safety. Accordingly, we reverse that conviction.
CONCLUSION
For the reasons stated, we affirm appellant’s unlawful wounding conviction and remand for resentencing. We reverse and dismiss the child neglect conviction.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded in part.
. A.C. was born May 4, 1986, "brother” was born February 7, 1989, and "sister” was born September 25, 1992.
. As the two younger children have the same initials and as we seek to protect their privacy as much as possible, we will refer to them herein as “brother” and "sister.”
. Both unlawful wounding and malicious wounding are charged in Code § 18.2-51, and both constitute “felonious assaults.”
. For purposes of his argument on appeal, appellant characterizes his conviction as “malicious wounding.” As stated above, we find appellant was convicted of unlawful wounding and review his sufficiency issue as such.
