Daycare and School Abuse & Neglect

Protecting Our Children

As parents, we trust daycares and schools to provide a safe, nurturing environment for our children. We expect them to:

  • Protect our kids
  • Foster a secure atmosphere
  • Ensure they thrive in trusted care

However, when abuse or neglect occurs, the damage extends beyond physical harm — it can deeply affect a child’s emotional well-being for years to come, depleting their sense of security and trust.

South Carolina’s Childcare Regulations

In South Carolina, daycares and schools are required to follow strict guidelines to protect children. These regulations are enforced by the South Carolina Department of Social Services.

The regulations cover:

  • Proper child-to-staff ratios
  • Tracking guidelines to ensure each child is accounted for throughout the day
  • Hiring practices
  • Education and training of childcare staff
  • Safety standards that must be adhered to at all times

Ignoring these regulations can lead to:

  • Overcrowded daycares
  • Understaffed daycares
  • Childcare staff who are not properly supervised or legally allowed to work in a daycare
  • Overwhelmed and stressed employees, resulting in lapses in care.

Why Legal Support is Critical

When these safety guidelines are violated, it’s more than just a failure to follow the rules — it’s a violation of trust. To hold responsible parties accountable, you need a skilled attorney who understands:

  • Childcare regulations
  • The complexities of abuse and neglect cases
  • The injuries and trauma that children experience due to abuse and neglect
