Unfortunately, even with the closest
scrutiny, a day care can be a place where a child becomes a victim. Our firm
is sensitive to the issues that parents face when day care abuse is
suspected.
A child's behavior regarding the
day care or child care center often becomes one of the first indicators of
abuse. Excessive crying, refusal to go, or expressions of fear may seem
minor, but they could be representative of a larger problem. Along with
psychological or behavioral symptoms, physical symptoms of abuse should not
be ignored. From minor injuries, such as bruises and cuts, to major injuries
such as broken bones and damage to internal organs, children can suffer
permanent physical and emotional damage from day care abuse.

Politicizing
Preschool

These proposals are based on the
(incorrect*) belief that “investments” in early
childhood education yield significant long-term benefits for children
served.
If the president is right, we should look forward to a safer, healthier, and
welfare-free world sometime soon, thanks to our federal “investments” in
preschool**. In 2009, taxpayers will spend $25
billion on the federal government’s 69 federal preschool and childcare
programs.
Unfortunately, little is known about whether these programs work. One might
think that Congress and the administration would be focusing on evaluating
these programs’ effectiveness before spending another billions (more) on
preschool. Actually, there is reason to believe that they are instead
ignoring empirical evidence that undermines the case for a new federal
preschool program.
