Answer:

You might read about daycare abuse in newspapers, but you likely hear less about daycare neglect. Unfortunately, although daycare neglect gets less press, it is still a dangerous problem in many Texas-based childcare centers. Here are some warning signs of daycare neglect:

• Your child is unusually hungry or thirsty upon arriving home from daycare.
• Your daycare discourages drop-in visits from parents.
• Your daycare has a very small staff, or high staff turnover.
• Your child often comes home from daycare very dirty or with a dirty diaper.
• Your child has unexplained bruises or injuries.
• Your child suddenly begins to act out or display aggressive behavior.
• Your child suddenly withdraws.
