Sex Abuse in Child Care Facilities

Sexual predators and pedophiles working in child care facilities have continuous access to young children. The number of daycare abuse cases have risen dramatically in the last few decades as the need for their services has increased.

While the facility must ensure that any working staff member has appropriate licensing, many care centers fail to complete background checks and verify licensing requirements.

Many facilities compromise the child's care, safety, and well-being in numerous ways, including ensuring it has enough staff members on hand to meet each child’s needs.

Some facilities failed to adequately supervise the staff, creating an atmosphere where a child can be easily isolated away from the group to benefit a predator.

Identifying Sexual Abuse

It can be challenging for families to identify when a predator has sexually abused their child at a child care center. In many incidents, the child becomes anxious and cries what it is time to go to the daycare facility.

Often, the potential indicators of alleged child care abuse involve:

• Children acting frightened, scared, or terrified when around a caregiver
• Sudden displays of unexpected behavioral changes or their performance while at daycare centers
• Unexpected bruising or bleeding around the genitals and anus

Common Daycare Sexual Abuse FAQs

The McMartin Preschool Trial

Nearly four decades ago, the Los Angeles District Attorney prosecuted the McMartin preschool trial, holding the Manhattan Beach, CA, McMartin family members responsible for repeated acts of sexual assault of the center’s children.

The first allegations of sexual misconduct from the daycare victims arose in 1983 concerning a two-year-old boy. Over the next few years, numerous daycare center employees were arrested on sexual abuse charges and placed on trial by the end of the decade.

In the end, the seven-year expense of felony trial ended any convictions, due in part to the high-priced defense attorneys. Eventually, the state dropped the child abuse charges in the McMartin preschool case.

To this day, the case remains the most expensive criminal trial ever held in the United States. The initial complaint was made in 1983, where local law enforcement suspected Ray Buckey, a teacher at the school, of molestation allegations. However, after questioning, Buckey was never prosecuted in California due to a lack of evidence and the case was dropped.
