We live in a different time.
The many, many changes in our society have also affected the way that we raise our children.
It used to be that the majority of children were watched by their mothers who stayed at home instead of working.
There was not a lot of wiggle room for women to make the choice of whether or not they wanted to work and raise their children at the same time.
But now, the number of single parent and duel income households increases dramatically every year.
As a result, there is a much bigger demand for daycares.
In order to respond to the demand, daycares have popped up all over the place.
The problem with this is that many of these daycares were built and put into place very fast and do not meet the standards that are expected of such facilities.
Many of the workers at daycares are inexperienced and negligent.
They are also extremely over worked and under paid.
Most daycares will have child to daycare worker ratios that are down right frightening.
When a daycare worker is in charge of many babies and children, it is not surprising to find out that they cannot give every child the attention that they need.
It is also not surprising that these workers frequently loose their tempers.
Taking care of just one child is hard enough, much less 12! Types of Daycare Neglect and Abuse There are a number of things that can occur while you are away at work to your child while they are being "cared for" at a daycare.
Some common things that happen are: •Mistakes-because there are so many children, workers may not look back at your child's chart to make sure of special needs such as allergies or asthma.
As a result, your child may be given something that they are deathly allergic to for snack time such as peanut butter.
•Anger outbursts-many daycare workers do not have adequate experience with children and when they become frustrate, they yell at the child or even hit them.
•Injuries-children can break bones, get bruises or worse while they are at facilities that do not properly child proof the areas that the children are allowed in.
