Adoption.jpgIn an effort to keep kids out of foster care, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services is giving abusive parents accused or suspected of abusing their children a second chance to be good parents to their children. Experts call the experiment, run by the nation’s largest county-run child welfare program, one of the most promising experiments for child welfare. However, it is not without risks; it does place children back into homes that have been deemed unfit.

HarriedParent.jpgA strong-willed child is a child who doesn’t mind his parents. He may also be described as stubborn or willful, and will strongly reject overt attempts to control his behavior. Children tend to become strong-willed in phases, during the “terrible twos” and the teenage years. According to a recent article, the skills required for dealing with these two very different ages of children are basically the same.

household%20television%20personal%20injury%20at%20home.jpgDay care centers have a duty to supervise children. In addition, day care centers should be more than just a babysitter. Day care centers should use their best efforts to enrich the lives and education of children by engaging the children in meaningful activities. Unfortunately, many day care centers bring the children into the day care center or day care home and turn on the television. It is well known that inactivity in children is not healthy for the bodies or their minds. You can read more about the issue or problem at

U.S.%20State%20Map%20Massachusetts.jpg

In Massachusetts and other States, day care centers have a duty to properly supervise children. It is vital that the children receive constant and consistent supervision. This includes but is certainly not limited to making sure that children remain in the facility. When a child leaves a child care facility without proper adult supervision, serious personal injuries and even wrongful death can result. In Douglas, Massachusetts, two young children were found wandering approximately 1/2 mile from the facility. Fortunately, the children did not suffer any injuries and were not abducted. Police were contacted and the children were eventually reunited with their families. Just because neither child was injured does not take away from the seriousness of this matter. The Massachusetts Department of Children and Families will investigate this matter to determine what procedures were in place, what procedures were followed, and what steps need to be taken in the future by this day care center to make sure that similar incidents do not take place in the future.

U.S.%20State%20Map%20Minnesota.jpg

In Minnesota and other States, children are very curious. Young children often lack good common sense and safety awareness. This is especially true when it comes to putting objects and items in their mouths. In Minneapolis, Minnesota, a 13 month old baby was found sucking on a crack. Fortunately, the crack was wrapped in plastic at the time. It is not certain how the crack got into the day care center. In the typical day care center, there are various ways in which drugs or dangerous items make their way into the day care center. A child may have brought it in from home. A parent or other adult could have hidden or stored the item in the child’s clothing or backpack. A child may have found the item on a playground, parking lot or field trip. It was reported that the child did not suffer any serious personal injuries from this incident. This story shows the importance of ongoing and diligent maintenance and inspection of day care centers by the owners and employees. It also shows the importance to parents and other adults of keeping dangerous items out of the hands and mouths of children.

In Texas and Other States, home based day care centers are subject to various rules and regulations. Many such rules and regulations pertain to limits to the number of children who can be cared for at any one time at the home based day care center. Rules and regulations are often times more involved for a commercial day care center in comparison to a home based day care center. Many day care operators fail to accurately report the number of children cared for in the home based day care center in order to avoid compliance with additional or more involved regulations. In Denton, Texas, a home based day care center owner was recently indicted for providing false information to police regarding the number of children cared for in the Texas day care center.

U.S.%20Flag%20Wisconsin.jpg

In Wisconsin and other States, there is a problem with dishonest day care centers charging the State and Federal government for day care services that are not being provided. Paying dishonest day care providers takes away funds needed from families and day care centers who would otherwise legitimately benefit from these funds. The State of Wisconsin Department of Justice is investigating various day care providers to determine what evidence exists to support a case for the improper use or acceptance of government funds. Day care centers that accept funds for children who are not present are likely to break other rules as well. Wisconsin day care regulations are in place for the safety, protection and welfare of children.
