Everyday parents trust other people with their children; they trust them to care for them while they work, to transport them to school and home, for sporting activities and other various things that are a part of children becoming productive adults while parents are at work.
While this all seems a part of normal life, however there many reported cases of child abuse every year at the hands of people who are entrusted to care for children while parents are not there to protect them.
In the past there have been many cases of child abuse that have come into the courts to prosecute a care giver who has not taken the best interest of the child into consideration but instead neglected their responsibility. Be it the caregiver who has mistreated the child in the home where parents have installed hidden cameras either out of fear or because their child has behaved differently. It could be the school bus driver who does not have the proper training and puts each child’s life on the bus endanger from the time they enter the bus and until they exit it each day. Even on the sports field children can be put in danger without a trained eye, even with a trained eye accidents can happen and if the person entrusted to supervise the sport is not trained in first aid it can lead to disaster.
These are all places that children are often put in danger where abuse or wrongful death can occur and it is not the fault of the parents as many children every day place their children in these situations and the children attend without incident.
When a situation does arise where there is abuse or a wrongful death the parents need the gentle advise and guidance that a skilled professional injury attorney can give them. While there is little that will make these parents lives normal or return to how life was it does often help to have closure when the abuse or wrongful death is admitted.
