A Lack Of Supervision In Your Child’s Daycare Is A Huge Danger

This week we covered the story of two 7-month-old twin boys who were scratched and bitten by other children at a Texas daycare center. An initial investigation discovered that there was only one trained adult supervising 22 children at the time of they boys’ injuries, and that the twins were most likely injured by other children while they were unsupervised.

While many people associate daycare abuse and neglect with supervisors hitting children or ignoring them altogether, in many cases, daycare injuries and accidents happen because the daycare does not have enough people – or enough properly trained people – watching the children. When children are not properly supervised, they can be injured by other children, injured by falls and other accidents, or even sexually abused by other adults.

Understaffed daycares may not be maliciously harming your children or not meeting your children’s needs on purpose – but they can be just as dangerous as daycares that intentionally violate state standards. Any parent knows how quickly their child can get into trouble when they are not being properly watched – imagine how difficult it is for over-worked and under-staffed daycare employees to watch dozens of children effectively.

If your child has been injured in a Texas daycare center and you believe it was due to negligent supervisors or understaffing problems, contact a Dallas daycare negligence attorney today to tell us about your story. Your child deserves a safe, healthy, and well-run child care center – and your child certainly didn’t deserve to be injured while at daycare.
