Identifying Day Care Abuse
For most parents, the thought of putting a child in day care can be an emotional roller coaster. Feelings of anxiety and abandonment can be overwhelming and it can be one of the hardest things parents must do, especially when parting with your newborn for the first time since birth. However, imagine how much more traumatizing this event could be if a parent found out there was abuse or neglect occurring in the day care center. Suddenly, your child's safe haven from the world has become a living nightmare.
Day care abuse is a frightening reality in our world. If you believe your child has been abused or neglected while at day care, call the Chicago day care abuse lawyers of Friedman & Bonebrake, P.C. at 312-466-8200 to learn about your legal options.
Potential Signs of Abuse
There are several potential warning signs parents can look out for in their kids to help identify abuse or neglect within a day care center:
- Crying or fighting to stay home from day care
- Unusual cuts or bruises, with no explanation
- Exhibiting a lack of affection
- Extreme behaviors
- Delayed development (physical or emotional)
- Unexplained stomach aches or headaches
- Acting unlike their age (too adult/infantile)
- Bed wetting
Child abuse is illegal and should not be tolerated in any case. Those who engage in this behavior deserve to be punished to the full extent of the law. You can help bring these individuals to justice by hiring an experienced lawyer who can fight for the rights of your child.
