South Carolina Daycare Injury Lawyer
As parents, we want the best for our children, and if we could, we would be with them throughout the day. Unfortunately, we also need to work to provide support for our families, so we entrust our children to daycare facilities while we are working.
While many daycare providers are dedicated and caring, they may be overworked and unable to provide proper supervision to all children in their care. And for some daycare providers and facilities, they are often only interested in collecting fees and uninterested in the safety and well-being of the children they are paid to care for. In these environments, children are often subjected to abuse and neglect that can cause lifelong physical, mental, and emotional problems.
Physical abuse involves forceful acts committed against a child’s fragile body. Because their young bodies are still developing, children are extremely vulnerable to long-term harm when force is applied against them. If a daycare provider pushes or drags a child with too much force, the child can suffer lasting injuries. Physical abuse also includes improperly withholding necessities such as food, water, warmth, or sleep as a punishment.
Emotional abuse can be just as harmful as physical abuse. Excessive criticism, humiliation, name-calling, yelling, shaming, or bullying behavior can cause severe damage to a child’s self-esteem and hinder mental and emotional development.
Neglect may be the most common form of daycare abuse. Many children suffer serious injuries in accidents that occur when they are not properly supervised. They also suffer when their care providers fail to provide proper first aid treatment or other needs. Care providers who are negligent may allow one child to bully another or leave a child alone in a dangerous situation.
