Child Care Neglect

The child care industry in the Untied States is very large. Many parents and guardians need to leave their children at day care facilities because they spend the entire day at work. Children who are too young to go to school then have to wait for their parents at day care facilities.

For the most part, the child care industry in the United States is very good. Children are usually taken care of well. There is enough supervision. Children are kept in a disciplined environment. They are given enough food and drink to sustain themselves and even maintain their health. And for the most part, parents do not worry about their children's safety when they drop them off to day care in the morning. They do not expect that something will be wrong at the end of the day, or that they will be called in the middle of the day from the workers are the daycare informing them about something that went wrong at the facility, something that affected their children.

Unfortunately, however, there are times when these exact things happen. Parents may come to pick their children up at the end of the day and realize that their children have been injured or hurt. Parents may have to rush from work to the child care facility to check up on their children. Or worse, they may have to leave work in the middle of the day and rush to a hospital where their children have been taken.

Daycare centers are not perfect. As a result, mistakes do occur. Neglect does occur. But when workers at a daycare fail to perform their duties--when they fail to provide proper supervision of the children and thus neglect them--a lot bad things can occur. Children may fall into a pool and drown. They may choke on a small object that they placed in their mouth. They may place a plastic bag over their heads and suffocate. They may put something chemically dangerous into their mouths. They may get electrocuted. Children may not be given enough food and water. Their complaints of sickness may be ignored. These things can occur at child care facilities because of neglect, and there is not excuse for such calamities leading to injury to or death of a child.

Parents have a right to think that their children will be safe at child care centers, for they are paying the facilities to take care of their children.
