Signs of Daycare Negligence

Roughly 55 percent of children between the ages of three and six are enrolled in center-based care, such as a daycare. These facilities can be incredibly useful for families where both parent works, and while parents trust daycares to provide proper care for their children, they can unfortunately be a dangerous place if workers are negligent or abusive. As such, it is important for parents to be vigilant in monitoring their children for any signs of daycare abuse or negligence.

Your son or daughter could suffer considerable physical or emotional harm as a result of a negligent daycare employee. As such, if your child has been injured while at daycare, you need to take action today and hold the responsible party accountable for this inexcusable wrongdoing.

Common Signs of Negligence

Detecting negligence or abuse can be extremely difficult, especially if your child is still at an age where he or she cannot talk. As a parent, it is important for you to be aware of your child’s physical condition and behavior, and to be on the lookout for some of the most common signs of abuse or neglect, including:

• Unexplained bruising, scratches, or other flesh wounds
• Trouble getting along with other children
• Loss of weight or extreme hunger and /or thirst when you pick him or her up
• Withdrawn actions

If your child is exhibiting any of these signs, or if you have other reason to believe your child is being mistreated in a daycare facility, do not hesitate to take action.
