Protecting Children and Holding Caregivers Accountable

When you leave your child in the care of a daycare, you trust that they will be safe, loved, and treated with respect. Unfortunately, some facilities fail to meet that basic duty. When neglect or abuse occurs, the consequences can be lifelong — both physically and emotionally. At Trevor White Injury Firm, we stand with families in Anderson and across the Upstate to protect children and hold negligent caregivers accountable.

Understanding Daycare Abuse and Neglect

Daycare abuse and neglect can take many forms, from physical harm to emotional mistreatment or lack of supervision. These cases often arise from understaffing, poor training, or complete disregard for state safety standards. Common examples include:

• Physical abuse or rough handling

• Emotional abuse or verbal humiliation

• Lack of supervision leading to injury

• Unsanitary or unsafe environments

• Failure to provide proper food, hygiene, or medical attention

• Sexual abuse or inappropriate behavior

No parent should ever have to experience the betrayal of discovering their child was hurt by someone entrusted to care for them. Our firm works to uncover the truth and pursue justice for your family.

Warning Signs of Daycare Abuse

Children may not always have the words to explain what is happening, which makes recognizing the signs of abuse critical. Warning signs may include:

• Unexplained bruises, cuts, or injuries

• Sudden fear of going to daycare or certain individuals

• Changes in behavior, sleep, or appetite

• Regression in speech or bathroom habits

• Signs of neglect such as poor hygiene or frequent illness

If you suspect something is wrong, trust your instincts and act quickly. Your child’s safety must come first.

Your Legal Rights as a Parent

South Carolina law allows parents to seek justice when a daycare’s negligence or abuse causes harm. This can include compensation for:

• Medical treatment and counseling

• Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma

• Future psychological care

• Punitive damages for reckless or intentional conduct

Trevor White Injury Firm works closely with child advocacy professionals and investigators to gather evidence, protect your child’s rights, and ensure accountability at every level.
