The threat of daycare physical abuse is real. When dealing with a possible situation of daycare abuse or child care neglect, there is always the devastation of fear and panic over the thought that something awful may have happened to your child. Conversely, one must be careful before beginning to make accusations on little to no proof. A good starting point is to trust your instincts, at least as it pertains to your child.

If you suspect daycare physical abuse or neglect and have a bad gut feeling, the best course of action is to remove your child from the center, if possible, until you are comfortable with the situation. At that point, you can begin to focus on investigating what may be happening to your child and speaking to professionals before moving on to lay blame.

If you have serious and legitimate concerns about daycare neglect or childcare abuse of any kind, you should immediately contact the local authorities and/or child proactive services. Also, if you suspect daycare physical abuse and/or sexual abuse or injury, you should seek immediate medical assistance from your child's physician or an emergency room.  Once you know your child is safe, contact our experienced daycare physical abuse lawyers to discuss all legal options.
