Childcare providers in Ohio are supposed to abide by strict regulations when it comes to facilities and training for personnel. This includes background checks for employees and volunteers and codes for all equipment and facilities.
Parents and guardians should always be on the lookout for certain indicators of abuse. We know that you never expect your child to be mistreated or neglected by professionals, but you need to remain vigilant. Always look for the following:
In many cases, a child can experience verbal abuse. This will not show physical signs, but a child may act differently because of it.
*Many of these signs will vary in appearance depending on a child’s age. In many cases, a child is not old enough to communicate what is wrong and a parent or guardian will need to rely on non-verbal and physical signs.
Every state has agencies that regulate childcare providers. You can use the Ohio government resources to find out which providers have a high level of care and which ones meet the needs of your child. Any time you suspect abuse or neglect at a provider facility, remove your child immediately. Contact law enforcement if you think that is appropriate and ensure you get copies of all paperwork. By reporting suspected incidents of abuse or neglect, you may trigger an investigation that could prevent other children from going through what your child went through.
