Seattle Child Abuse and Neglect Attorneys
Many parents use day care providers for their children while they are at work. Many parents do their homework and carefully research providers before deciding which one to entrust their children to.
Parents trust that their children will be in a safe, dependable environment while at day care. However, despite state laws on care standards, daycare abuse and neglect are more frequent than many parents believe.
What is child care abuse?
Day care abuse and neglect may include:
- child molestation
- physical abuse
- negligence in supervision leading to injury or even death
- emotional abuse
In addition to daycare centers, children can also be abused by nannies, babysitters, teachers, coaches, clergy, family members, or acquaintances.

How Do You Know Your Child Has Been Abused?
Because children are often too shy, ashamed, or too young to talk about what happened to them, they need the help of parents. Parents need to be vigilant for any type of childcare abuse or neglect. If you suspect your child has been harmed, do not wait. Seek medical help and contact our childcare abuse attorneys.
Symptoms of child molestation may include:
- Behavioral changes or extreme mood swings
- Unusual bed-wetting or nightmares
- Separation anxiety, clinging, or other fearful behaviors
- Fear of certain people, places, or activities
- Unusual interest in sexual behaviors
Sometimes child abuse and neglect are more obvious. These incidences may include:
- Child left unattended in a vehicle such as in van or bus
- Near drowning due to lack of supervision
- Child being seriously harmed by other children
- Child being left unattended resulting in swallowing of dangerous foreign objects
- Broken bones and other serious injuries at daycare
