Denver Childcare Sexual Assault Attorney
Parents should be able to trust that their child is safe from physical and emotional harm when they drop them off at a daycare facility. However, incidents of child abuse occur without parental knowledge every year in the United States. Sexual assault is perhaps the most physically and emotionally harmful form of child abuse and is unfortunately more common than we might like to think, and may be committed by childcare workers, the parents of other children, guests on the premises, or even other children.
If your child has been the victim of this unspeakable act while under the supervision of a trusted childcare facility, it is important that you are aware of your legal rights in the civil justice system. Contact an experienced and compassionate Denver childcare sexual assault attorney at Hull & Zimmerman, P.C., at 303-423-1770 to discuss the potential merits of legal action and the damages for which financial compensation may be available.
Signs of Sexual Abuse
Children are often hesitant to report sexual assault because the assault often occurs at the hands of an acquaintance of the child, like a daycare worker who the child sees every day. However, there are signs of sexual assault and abuse that parents can look for, such as:
- Unnatural fear/withdrawal
- Displays of inappropriate sexual behavior
- Fear of attending daycare
- Nightmares/sleep disturbances
There are many more signs of daycare sexual assault, but any of the above may signal some form of sexual abuse. If your child has exhibited these behaviors, the situation likely warrants closer examination.
