Texas Daycare Abuse Attorneys

Parents trust their children with home, church, and child development childcare facilities with the expectation that children will be safe while their parents are working or attending to other responsibilities. In a few tragic instances, however, children who are being cared for by others suffer:

• Lack of supervision resulting in injury
• Physical abuse
• Sexual abuse, such as fondling, exhibitionism, or worse

Evidence of child abuse or neglect in daycare settings should be reported to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.

Day care facilities are required to self-report to the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services when a child is injured or abuse or neglect is suspected. Often, however, they fail to do so. If your child has been injured at a day care facility, make sure the incident has been reported, even if it seems to be an accident.

Warning Signs

Information about licensed childcare facilities is available for free on the internet. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services can tell you whether your child's facility has been cited in the past for violations of state regulations.

All employees in day care facilities must be screened and receive a thorough background check. However, sometimes day care employers neglect to thoroughly screen their employees. The Texas Department of Family and Protective Services provides information about the screening of day care workers.
