Many parents choose to employ the services of a nanny or daycare when they have to work or attend other events. When a parent chooses to do this, they are entrusting care providers with something extremely precious to them – the well-being of their child. As such, child care providers have a responsibility to provide the best care possible to the children they are responsible for. Unfortunately, there are care providers who not only neglect to provide the care a parent expects, but also go so far as to severely neglect or abuse the children in their care.

Signs of Possible Abuse
Without resorting to extreme measures, it is often hard to discover when a care provider is being abusive. However, there are signs that point to possible abuse that your child may exhibit, including:
- Extreme and consistent resistance to going to daycare
- Depression or withdrawal
- Abnormal eating or sleeping habits
- Weight loss
- Unexplained bruises, cuts, or other injuries
