How Will an Attorney Help This Case?

In these cases, an attorney will be your advocate. An Orange County daycare sexual abuse attorney will:

• Work with law enforcement to investigate all aspects of what happened. This includes gathering any evidence available, such as video surveillance, eyewitness accounts, and more.

What Are the Signs of Daycare Abuse?

Data shows that approximately one in every ten children will be sexually abused before they reach their 18th birthday. According to RAINN, over 90% of child sexual abuse victims know their abuser. In many cases, daycare staff and volunteers are the perpetrators of child sexual abuse.

Depending on the age of the child, it can be difficult to pick up on the signs that sexual abuse is occurring. Children often do not understand what is happening to them, so parents and guardians should lookout for the following:

• Changes in a child’s behavior
• Unusual interest in sexual matters
• Anxiety around certain daycare staff
• Unexplained bruises, particularly in the genital or anus areas
• Reverting to outgrown behavior
• Nightmares or night terrors
• Urinary tract infections or genital soreness

It is up to daycare facilities to practice proper hiring procedures and ensure that all staff receives proper background checks and training. Under no circumstances should the discovery of sexual abuse be covered up by the daycare. If that occurs, they should be held liable for any damages related to the sexual abuse of a child.
