Hutchinson Kansas News Paper

When two toddlers broke out of their California licensed daycare in 2009 during naptime, they're escape route was a broken fence. The two were discovered unharmed, walking along an active Metrolink train rail, according to "Who is Minding the Little Ones?," by accident lawyers, Allen, Flatt, Ballidis & Leslie.

Implementing safety measures not only keeps day care occupants safe, it protects a daycare's reputation. Any day care not prepared to prevent or limit child accidents or outright child abuse or child neglect should not be in business.

Preventing Child Abuse Charges

Headlines shout disturbing cases of child abuse and neglect in home nurseries and child care centers nationwide. Cases like the March 2010 one of 27 year-old Elizabeth Gray in Hutchinson, Kansas. Gray is accused of shaking a three-month old infant and tossing her 4 feet into a crib. Although the baby was hospitalized for a week, no permanent damage was done. These cases haunt wary parents and day care workers looking to provide a loving environment.
