Couple Alleges Abusive Treatment of Daughter at Daycare

Recently, a Long Island couple has filed a notice of claims against several agencies due to the abuse their 21 month old daughter endured at a daycare facility.  The couple has notified the Southampton Town authorities, Suffolk County Child Protective Services, The New York State Office of Children and Family Services, and the New York State Board of Regents.  The complaint alleges that their child had been “yanked out” of a high chair, slammed into a crib, and forcibly fed until she vomited.  Two employees have since been terminated and arrested due to this and other instances of abuse that had gone unaddressed by the facility’s owner.

Many families send their children to daycare facilities while they work.  According to statistics, almost a quarter of children under the age of 5 in the United States attend a daycare program.  While parents expect their children to receive the highest level of care and attention, this is unfortunately not always the case.  In addition to abusive conduct of employees, issues can also arise due to negligent supervision, defective toys, wet floors, disrepair of premises, and unsafe playground equipment, just to name a few.  However, with proper care and supervision, many of these incidents can be avoided.

Before choosing a daycare for your child, it is best to investigate the facility and its staff.  In making a decision regarding whether the daycare is best for your child, consider how many children are in a class, and how many adults supervise the class.  Additionally, question whether the staff is properly qualified in caring for children, and in first aid.  Consider all the safety and health standards of the location and whether they are adhered to, as well as bathroom facilities and access to water.  It is also a good idea to look into the scheduling practices of the daycare, and the policies in place.

However, even if you believe that you have chosen the best possible daycare for your child, incidents can still arise.  If your child has been injured due to the negligence or recklessness of a day care worker, you may be able to receive compensation for your child’s injuries.  Contact an experienced personal injury attorney who can best advise you of your legal rights and remedies.  Call the Law Office of McGuire & Pelaez, P.C. today at (631) 348-1702.

I’ve used these attorneys for 2 traffic tickets and I am very pleased with the outcome. Would highly recommend going to see them for any traffic ticket matters! Would definitely use them again if needed.
I had a great experience resolving a traffic matter. Highly recommended!
These guys were outstanding, did what they said,and the staff couldn't have been nicer and professional. I hope to never need them again, but if I do, I wouldn't even think of going anywhere else !
The representatives from this firm were great. I was referred to use their service from my friend for a similar situation. I met with one of the lawyers, they reviewed my mess and told me they were going to fix it. They handled my case with no issues, I dodged 6 points on my license and I’m good with that. The front desk assistants were great with navigating my calls and were great to speak with. They helped me out with my questions which all led to a great experience. From one referral to the next, they know what they do so let them work for you. Thank you.
